On my first pip form back in 2016, the lies too really upset me . She said I was well nourished (meaning fat) I wasn't , I had french manured nails, I do not , I have phobias of any chemical on my skin , so a french manicure was a lie. There were more ,but it upsets me to mention them .

I was weighed by the doctor around Feb, I had boots and chunky layered clothes as it was freezing on, she said to me are you happy with that weight. I got home and weighed much less with the layers. I also put on weight because of the menopause

They are cruel and made me feel really unworthy of anything . I just got hearing aids in both ears and apparently been profoundly deaf on some frequencies probably since birth . I am in a new world hearing so many different sounds , I am so excited lol . I needed 2 points to get the enhanced daily living of PIP , so I hope I will get those 2 points in April 2026 when it is time for my review. MacMillan will help me fill in the form , I need to add the hearing loss and aids and also the sleep apnea and machine. Hearing aids are not waterproof so I need my husband there when I shower or bath as I cannot hear the fire alarm should it go off , lets see how things go with that .
