Hiya all, just wanted to update some very kind and supportive people on the forum. After a very,very long and stressful wait I’ve been awarded enhanced on both for review 2028. I’m so glad it’s all over.
My advise to anyone thinking of asking for an intervention is quite simple, don’t rush, take a step back before applying. The stress is unbelievable, I appreciate that it’s a very difficult time for everyone with the shadow of pip over them. Was it worth it, I’ll tell you in a few weeks/months when I’ve had time to heal from all the anxiety and stress.???
