Hi @delboy76Try not to worry, the majority of stories that we hear are the ones that are not successful and this is a very small percentage of the overall picture.When you have your review the best advice is to be honest. HCP's are trained to see how your condition affects your functionality. In many cases, claimants have been wrongly advised to use their worst day as the norm. Every one has bad days and not so bad days. For a PIP award you only need to be affected for the majority of time, so if an HCP assesses you on your worst day then they will assume that you have better days also. Be prepared to explain the variablity of your condition.
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste
