PIP application knowledge and advice

Hi all…. It's great to find you guys. I i hope to learn a few things and also gain some knowledge on my PIP application journey.
I was diagnosed with fibro and osteoarthritis a couple of years ago and recently been told I may have ADHD Inatentive type, which woulld of been from early childhood trauma. I'm on the right to choose pathway with an appoinmtment in Feb 2025.
I was advised a couple of yerars ago that I may be entitled to PIP, so I applied…my application was not successful . I didn't get round to challenging it.
I'm not very good at explaining things and my current application reads like 'I have a few issues but it's okay, I get by in the end' ………not tha sort of thing I want to get accross.
This has taken a while to type with many deletes and re-writes 😂
Hopeing to gain some information that will help.

My best advice is to not do the forms yourself.
Look for local welfare rights support.
They are experts at knowing what language to use, and highlighting that ways of coping that you are used to, aren't in fact normal and need to be written down on the form.
