I'm new to the forum.
Looking forward to chatting to you. I'm quite shy so not confident to post my pip questions yet.
Thank you for having me.

That's OK whistles
Just take your time I'm newbieish to -
Hi @whistles and welcome to the community. Very glad you've found us. If you're shy, you're shy
but there is really no need to worry here. Take everything at your own pace.
You've found a community of friends here, very many of whom have had difficulties with PIP (which seems to have been designed in order just to make life more difficult for people). Whatever you've been through, someone here will have a similar experience and will be happy to listen and share. We do have people who are knowledgeable about benefits, and we have some excellent resources to help and guide you.
So it is up to you
We're here and we're listening,
Warmest best wishes to you
