Hi @euphoria75
Good Evening & Welcome.
I’m so sorry to hear about the lady who was going to assist you with your pip assessment.
In the first instance do you have a local “CAB” they can be very very helpful in this situation????
We have also got a “helpline” ourselves:
0808-800-3333 (Mon-Fri)
Please please let me know if I can help/support you further????
