Hello @chrissy14 Pleased to meet you welcome.
Thank you for joining and your benefit enquiry.
I am one of the team of community champions who help and advise new members who join.
I would advise as you have filled in the form. It is waiting for an assessment. The date when you have an assessment.
When that comes it will come with a booklet and what you need to do for the assessment.
Read what it contains carefully.
We will support you for this.. You will need to prepare for the assessment.
Please ask anything. Please also may I add have a look at our posts for Talk about PIP/.DLA.
These are posts from our members. Something to consider looking at. Will guide and advise you . Lots of support.
Please take care.

Hello @chrissy14 Thank you for reply. So sorry what you have been through.
You have come to the right place for support. I know many members have been through all of this. Are here to reassure you.
Offer words of comfort.
Including myself. Had assessment last year and hand back car . September. Having last year lost the car. On the Motability scheme had been on the scheme for twenty years.
Now have lost my independence but fight on. Had to change and adapt . Do a lot on line shopping, banking.prescriptions. Go around by taxi
Also struggle and strive but have all the interests of members like yourself at heart. Being community champion . On the forum.
Do understand . You are a valued member of our community.
I am here to listen anytime. Always here. Share and care.
