I found that often helps and then he can relay anything to me.
Also when I was in a mental health charity. Support worker did it. Which was great. Now trying to cope on my own. Even so still ask a friend to be nominated.
Could be a solution.
Hope that helps.
You need to be respected and treated right. Please take care

Hi fridayfeeling38,
A warm welcome to Scope. I'm sure you will enjoy being part of the online community here. I only joined a couple of weeks ago and have found everyone's friendliness and support fantastic! Great news that you have been awarded PIP. Looking forward to speaking to you and hearing your thoughts in the future. :-)

I too have progressive bilateral hearing losses, along with balance issues, tinnitus and now anxiety and depression issues (Menieres) and they possibly think other A.I maybe Lupus) my hearing therapist and mental health counselor asked if I was receiving any benefits, and along with my physiotherapist, said I should be applying / claiming something or at least try.
So glad to hear you have been awarded. That really is encouraging news. In amongst the awful stories. Awaiting my F2F date still. XX
Always look out for each other. Be kind.
Hugs and smiles mean the world. XX

That's great news regarding your PIP claim - congratulations!
As for tinnitus, I too have it and know just how much of a pain it can be - especially when I'm reading a book in bed in the evening, there's peace and quiet and then my ears start ringing! I'm still yet to find the perfect distraction!
Although, if you are looking for more information about tinnitus, the British Tinnitus Association has lots of useful information on their website which might be of interest.
