well been turned down yet again for my P.I.P, iam really getting depressed now. What do these people no about WG when your own GP struggles to understand it. I alsohave 3 other complaints aswell( diabetes, Thrombocypenia and Asthma) but because i can basically feed myself, get a wash and 1/2 dress myself they are not interested, if only they understood how it effects my day to day life but they dont ask that, i was asked to walk 5ft and then told i was able to walk 200mtrs aided or unaided what a laugh eh!!!!! we have coke central heating i cannot even lift the coke scuttle and have already dropped the ashpan (which when hot is a fire risk) but they are not bothered about how i manage when my husband is not there. Anyway enough of my rambling but i just get so frustrated. Sorry!!!!

Hi,
I agree don't give up.
I have just submitted my renewal of ESA to stay in the support group .I hope I am successful.
I do understand how you feel as it's so difficult enough filling the form when you are struggling and unwell
Life is a challenge
