Just wanted to share my journey through claiming pip incase there is anyone frantically searching for good news stories like I was. I have Crohn’s disease basically affecting me most places possible. Also depression and anxiety which I don’t take medication for. It’s been a very bumpy ride for me I’m not going to lie but I just wanted to say, keep going for as long as you can! Also if you can get help with your claim that’s great but I find it very difficult to engage and ask for help so I went through the process by myself.
So I called to apply around November 2021 but when the forms came I couldn’t handle it and didn’t continue with the application.
16.2.22 - called again to make new application, filled in form a few days later online.
20.05.22 - had telephone assessment.
9.6.22 - received outcome decision, 6 points and 4 points. Applied for MR straight away.
21.07.22 - Mr decision, stayed the same.
10.8.22 - tribunal request.
15.3.22 - tribunal date, had decision on the same day. Awarded standard daily living and enhanced mobility. Could also see this on my online application later on, haven’t received a letter yet though.
Now it’s just another long wait for it all to be sorted but hopefully everything goes ok 👌
