PIP

[sylvi]

I have DWP telling me i have the enhanced mobility and care from what was disability living allowance. I am so relieved and in shock that it came through so quick and without a visit from the people who come and see you in your own home to assess you. I did send a letter i had from the consultant after i had a second opinion and i think that helped no end. I now have to start to believe that i am chronically ill now instead of just riding along like i have been doing. Now is the time to try and sort some things out like what can i do and can't do and try to organise myself a bit better.

I am so happy and PIP can be successful.xxxxxx

Hi Sylvi,

Beverley

[sylvi in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Beverley, was so surprised when i got home and found out i can tell you,i thought it would have been a lot harder than it was. I know i am lucky though as there are some who have to fight a lot harder than i have done.xxxx

Seems to be so hit and miss Sylvi. Glad you got it. Helps for people to hear that it can be awarded without all the horror stories that you hear.

[Hidden]

Great news! I can see it's a bitter sweet result but so glad you've got that support in place.

[sylvi in reply to Hidden]

Yes it is biter sweet,but it is a relief as well.xxx

That is good news Sylvi, you can't ask for better than that. So pleased you didn't have to go through the performance of the assessment.

Love your kitty too, snuggly. x

Did your consultant send it direct or did he give it to you to pass on, I have all the forms here which look very daunting to be honest thanks for any advise on this carole

[LesJames]

So glad you were awarded PIP at the enhanced rate on both components.

We hear so many horror stories, it's nice to know that they are actually looking at factual evidence and sparing people from the fear and humiliation of an assessment.

I think there is an important message in your post, and it's:

Make sure your medical team are aware of how you are affected on a daily basis, what difficulties you have and what you can't do or are missing out on rather than simply confirming a diagnosis.

I'm not entirely sure congratulations is the right word but I'm sure it's a massive relief and one less thing to worry about.

Best wishes

[sylvi in reply to The_Bimblers]

Yes it is darling and such a relief less for me to worry about. Thank you for your words.xxxx

[cathie]

I'm glad to hear that you're getting somewhere with all this.
