in Start here and say hello!
Hi all newbies  :)
I too am quite a newbie and still finding my way around .
In fact, I'm wondering if I am even posting this in the right place!  I'm sort of testing it? :D

Anyway, hello all. So far I have found this a very friendly place and received some good advice last week.

    Hi @steve21 :)

    Just hoping to give support, receive support and chat in general. 

    Think I'm getting the hang of it here thanks. I can be quite a chatterbox when I get going so I hope I don't bore / irritate people  :p

    I have a long list of illnesses and like many others, having to negotiate the bonkers benefits system, tackle physical and emotional difficulties indoors and outdoors. Usually manage to keep smiling though  :)

    How about you?

    Hi @paffuto10

    That will be great as we all need somewhere to get help & support.

    Don't worry about going on & on this helps tremendously believe me.

    Yes it is like a "Mine Feeled" getting your "head" around the "Benefit Sys"

    The "Mental /Physical" aspect's tend to get over looked.

    @Connie00

    Thanks for the welcome  :)

    Managing to find my way around now and what a friendly , informative place it is. 

    Being in the midst of two PIP's (myself and adult son) I came for support, advice and that's what I've found :)

    Son's PIP is all done now and satisfactory result after MR. Just mine to go now, next week.  :o

    Also came for a nosey, chat and to support others.

    It's been great, think you're all stuck with me now.!! 
    Wish I'd joined sooner  :)
