Hello @Tankie and a warm welcome to the community. Glad to have you with us.
Curious about 'Tankie'I've known a lot of tankies through the years from my father's time with the 17/21st Lancers and REME, and a late friend in the RHA. Any connection?
There's a difficulty about the PIP question insofar as the only reports we read about PIP tend to be the bad ones. The ones that work well and successfully are just not 'newsworthy', and on a site that aims to support people with problems you're likely to see a score of negative reports for every positive one. So things may be a bit 'skewed' and maybe - just maybe - you'll be one of the many lucky onesI certainly hope so.
Anyway, here we are, ready and willing to do anything we can do, so please stay in touch, keep us up to date and let us see what we can do to help.
Warmest best wishes to you,
Richard
