in PIP, DLA, and AA

I wanted to say Thankyou for keeping me calm and informed throughout my pip journey. It’s been a stressful and long process. 18 months in total
I had my tribunal today and it was awful. They grilled me for 50 minutes and at one point I ended up crying and having to take a break. I have however come away with an award so I can now move forward

    Hi @BrainbleedHan. I'm so happy that you received an award! I can imagine it's hard to process. It's such a stressful journey and it's kind of strange once it's over as you put so much energy into it for so long. The main thing is you have your award and now you can focus on looking after yourself 😊 I'm so glad you found support through the community. We're all still here to continue to support you through things.
