I thought I would offer what I think is my expertise in mental health claims. My brother is 33 and me and my mum has cared for him since 17 when he developed it.

I see a lot of people asking/wondering how hard it is to get with mental health and how its never awarded. That isnt true.

Me and mum have done his dla then pip since he was 17 we have done his forms for 16years and he's had it non stop for 16 years. Also the last award he was awarded for 7 years. Few months back at a review. Also in 16yrs never had an assesment face to face and we all know how strict pip is.

He has never been taken off it.

If you want any advice on this guys, feel free to message me with any questions regarding mental health and pip.

I've got my own problems with brain hemmorage/brain. Surgeries etc. But I will always put my little brother first as he has it extremely bad.

If you'd like to know anymore about him and how he's always had pip, I may have a few tips. So your all welcome to message

Regards

Sam
