Hi Kat, welcome to the site,l also have a disc disorder and fall frequently, had an assessment with pip, awaiting an answer, it's a bit of a worry

I bet!! They're eastwards I hear, but if you do get turned down make sure you appeal! I'm on DLA and am waiting anxiously for them to demand I come in for an assessment! Hope it goes well. Will keep fingers crossed!

I was on DLA for a few years, got moved over to pip three years ago, had nothing but hassle with them ever since, I've been trying to get this current thing sorted since Jan 4, Thank-you for your support
