Hi, my name is Nanayana!

Hi everyone, I have got my PIP review via telephone on Thursday and I’m so nervous and scared about losing PIP.

My main condition is fibromyalgia but I also have sciatica from a back operation and am now also menopausal. My concern is that I rarely see a dr because there’s nothing they can do and consequently I do not have a lot of evidence to submit.. I have received PIP since 2018 which includes an extension this past year.
How worried should I be? My life will go to pot if they knock me back…

Heya @Nanayana and welcome from me too. 😊

Please try not to worry too much, PIP is less about what conditions you have, but more about explaining to them how your illnesses affect each of the descriptors, so as long as you can do that, you should be ok.

Just take your time, don't let them rush you and try to have a list of things you think you need to mention at hand. You'll do great. 😁

Thankyou Albus for your advice, I will take what you say on board.
I will let everyone know how it went afterwards.
