Hi @sueflanders69
Its great to meet you today.
I had a Stroke a few years ago now.
This was in my “Cerebellum”
Due my “chronic pain” I had to also take “early retirement”
Please please let me know if I can help you further?????? -
Hi @sueflanders69, welcome to the community!

Hello Sue @sueflanders69 and a warm (if in my case slightly delayed) welcome to the community. Glad to have you with us.
Cerebellar ataxia is a new one on me, but I've not been a member here all that long. Clearly you must have a lot of questions and I am sure we will be able to find some answers for you.
When you're ready, could you possibly tell us a little more about your circumstances and your husband's condition? The better we get to know you, the more easily we may find ways to be of use to you - and we do, very much, want to be.
I did find an Ataxia support organisation, Ataxia UK, which you might like to check out if you haven't already.
Warmest best wishes to you, and looking forward to hearing more from you,

Thank you so much - we will check the benefit tool in case more benefits can be applied for. Tim applied for PIP and only got the daily living allowance and nit the mobility bit which is what he struggles with. We want to apply again but are not sure how to be successful, any advice would be welcome

Hi, sorry no I am in Cheshire. I used pip points system just google it and it shows you the points you get for daily living and mobility you have to gain enough points to pass and even more to get high rate. My brother got the highest points due to progressive mobility issues and anxiety following a familiar journey...on the mobility part.the daily living also for all the help he needs. I think knowledge of the questions and points awarded for each question is the way...my brother needs a lot of help nowdays....I would say its progressed over the years but slowly.
