Hi @happyme86, welcome to our community 😊 I'm sorry to hear about what's happening. You've done nothing wrong in applying for PIP. It sounds like you really need it and it should help. We at Scope sometimes do safeguarding when we see something that concerns, and we have to inform the person being safeguarded of course. Now, safeguarding does not mean there is anything wrong, but it is to check and ensure everything is actually okay. It does not mean you are a bad mum at all. You clearly love both your daughters, and you receive help from your mum and your daughter. There is nothing wrong or bad in that.

Do you have your assessment appointment yet at all or is this the first contact you've had from them?

Thank you @Jimm_Scope , it's just made me feel so bad the capita lady rang me this morning took Me totally off guard as I had no idea they were ringing I've also had a phone call from my GP as DWP has contacted them and my GP receptionist has said I need to go and see my GP to discuss things DWP want to know about and my daughter helping me I feel so stressed out today with all of this I wish I had never bothered now my anxiety is through the roof I was recently awarded lwcra and it was the mental health work coach who told me to apply for pip I already feel like a failure from the break down of my marriage and my PTSD and now all of this 😩
