Ghostequinox1705

I have fibromyalgia sjorgrens and degenerative arthritis. I have all over pain and as soon as i put a foot down my feet and knees and hips really hurt. I lost my mobility and was reassessed. I have a tribunal next week. I cant walk a metre without pain. I am so lost in all of this.  I understand frim what ive read its also happening to others.  My point is i hurt 24/7 a few simole steps caus3 me much pain.

hi Ghostequinox and welcome

With your tribunal next week there is little that we can do for you

have a look at the B&W self test

your job is to show that you meet the criteria for an award

if you have no award in payment then you can reapply straight away there is no waiting time
