    Hi @sandy69, thanks for sharing this with us and I'm so sorry to hear that you're struggling. The PIP process can feel overwhelming at times, but we have lots of knowledgeable members here on the community who will do their best to help, no matter what the outcome is. Hopefully somebody will be in touch soon and able to advise.

    You are a member of our community and we appreciate you. If you are having thoughts of self harm or suicide, it is important that you discuss them with someone who is qualified to help. Please call the Samaritans on 116 123 (free) or email them at jo@samaritans.org. You might also benefit from reading MIND’s information on how you can help yourself.

    If you feel that you may be an immediate danger to yourself, please call 999 or go to your local hospital right away.

    Hello there. I am about your age and I can feel your misery and worry as I read your post. I am so sorry that you're going through this and that you feel like harming yourself. I have done that in the past but I am in a much better place now. I had to take the DWP to a tribunal to get PIP and it was an awful experience, but eventually I got my award and it was backdated a year. Please stay with this forum and let us know how you are getting on. There are plenty of people here who are going through the same experience who will be sympathetic.

    You really need to speak to your GP or the samaritans.

    There are invisible conditions that no one can see on the outside. Very few people claim is fraudulently.

    As advised on your other thread please get some face to face advice about your recent PIP award. Good luck.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
