I have just had a txt saying i have been awarded PIP after 5 years of living on fresh air.
I applied in August , so its only 2 months for the decision, I am in shock.
I have no new evidence from 5 years ago except my Arthritis, Carpal Tunnel, Spondylosis, Hip replacement, Knee replacement and disk replacement in my neck are worse now than they have ever been and the fact that Depression has held my mental health captive. I have also developed Hypothyroidism and Diabetes.
What a relief I feel knowing I can try to get back some normality and at least visit the dentist and opticians before it is far to late, although i don’t know which rate I m to receive until I get the letter.
