PIP REVIEW

shambam

Hi everyone 😊

I just wanted to share my experience with pip with those also going through a review.
I handed my review forms I. At the end of Feb 2023. My appointment was rearranged twice (once my fault!) and I finally had the assessment over the phone today.
i have been on PIP a few years, low care only. My mobility has been severely limited these last two years, gradually getting worse since 2019. Pain is very difficult to manage. I have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, arthritis and a few extra bits thrown in because of those! I am pretty much housebound now.
The assessor was really lovely this morning. She understood EDS and I felt confident that she understood the difficulties I have.
Just the final wait of 6-8 weeks now. Fingers crossed, eh? 🤞🏼

Thanks for sharing your journey with us @shambam I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for a good outcome. Will you be able to let us know how you get on please? 😊

Oh and please try and keep yourself occupied, I know how slowly time can go when you're just thinking about that decision daily. 😆

Hi Albus. I will definitely post an update. I have two teenagers at home so will definitely be distracted for the next few weeks!
