    Hello Sean

    I'm so sorry to hear all this; you've been through experiences that would knock anyone, even just one of those conditions would be hard for most people to bear. I don't know much about pip, but whoever is responsible for assessing, or re-assessing you for pip (if you are even re-assessed; I heard that some people will be told that they will never need to be assessed again. But please take my advice with a pinch of salt) needs to know how bad things have got for you. Perhaps your GP could help, or someone from the local council. It does sound like a lot for you to handle, on top of simply trying to look after yourself. Please do tell someone, like a GP, how you are feeling. It's not good to be in such pain, and to be so anxious about pip. Please do try to take care of yourself. E xx

    Hi @SEAN34, I'm really sorry you're feeling so worried about the changes to PIP, you're definitely not alone in how you're feeling. We have sent you an email today so please look out for that.

    Do you have any mental health support at the moment? Is there anyone you can speak to about your worries? I hope the community can be a place of support for you 😊
