Oh amazing news @ryleyyg I am absolutely stoked for you! I bet it's a huge weight off your mind now? Please try and be extra gentle with yourself as the whole process of claiming PIP is so draining on the old brain. ❤️

ryleyyg

Yea that's true, and thank you I appreciate it!!!

ryleyyg

So I've told Mt dad about the PIP payment,

And he wants to take complete control over it... because he thinks I'm not good enough at looking after it.

Ii just don't trust it tbh

He says that he wants to speak to them so he can get it paid to him

ryleyyg

No he doesnt, he even knds that id get a back payment too...

I just don't trust him at the moment but when I keep telling him I CAN manage it, he keeps blanking and ignoring me and saying, ohh but I can apply for this I can plan and manage your money... etc I'm sorry but I'm not 6 years old

ryleyyg

It's like he's treating me like a child which seems unfair as I don't even live with him

ryleyyg

I agree.

I completely am thankful for him helping me on the form, but tbh it's my money not his...not for him but for me...

ryleyyg

I just outright said to him,

That I do not agree that you're treating me like a child knowing full well im not one.. I can manage it well and I will know what to spend it on.

ryleyyg

Funny enough he isn't responding to my texts now 🙄

ryleyyg

But he was quick enough to tell me how he wants my money etc

ryleyyg

@Nightcity I just basically sent my dad this text.

I do get what you're saying, but the PIP payment is my money and it should be paid to me.. I do appreciate the help u did on the forms, but I just feel like you're trying to treat me like a child by saying u are having full control over it,

There won't be any point in me having pip if you just take it all..

I keep telling you but I feel like you're not listening to me, that I will look after it well, I will not give it to mum, I will spend it wisely, and spend it on things I actually need that will support me.

With this payment I can help pay of my debt, get more food for the week, and use it for train travel etc.

ryleyyg

I hope so

It's worth pointing out that the benefit is called "Personal Independence Payment" emphasis on the personal part. 😉

ryleyyg

Yup!! Buy yet he's treating me like a 6 year old. Funny he won't respond tho...
