    Hi Ann, have you applied for pip, and if so have you had your assessment yet? 
    I did not get mine the first time I applied but think it helped that I got a letter from my cbt therapist and children's social worker so if you have any professionals involved in your care ask them to write a short statement for you. Good luck!
