    I have Ehlers Danlos 3 and several other conditions. I'm waiting for a decision on a PIP MR. I am feeling so low at the minute .The Capita assessment was full of lies and inconsistencies. Feel so let down ?

    Good morning @Maxxbrrtt, I'm sorry to read this. Please let us know how your MR goes. Remember that if you don't get the outcome you're after, you can still appeal the decision and we'll do our best to answer any queries you might have about the process. There are many people here who can relate to your experiences, so please stick around and get involved in our discussions.

    I had a phone call about my MR I would say the best thing to do is go over the forms as many times as you can bear, when they ask you whats wrong, take time to explain how each descriptor effects you, by practicing it will help with the stress, if you are unhappy after that you should get any help you can and head to a tribunal, an advisor or CAB would be a good thing if you go to the next step.
