Really liking this forum

66Mustang

I don’t like or use social media but I enjoy forums. I am on a few different forums for different topics (disability, cars, computers, watches) and just want to say that so far this one is one of the most friendly forums I have found and I really like it

Just a question, how long has this website been going for? I applied for PIP 3 years ago and while searching around online, never came across it. Is it younger than that?

No it has been around for years.

Must admit I stumbled across this forum & had had a preconceived idea that it was just for people that had Cerebral Palsy.

I'm not a fan of social media, but joined Facebook to reply during a question & answer time about the neurological problems that some with my disorder have. About a year ago I also joined a Facebook link about PIP & other benefits, as well as one about trying cannabidiol. Whilst the latter was helpful, I can only endorse your view that this is indeed a friendly place to be, & also with helpful, knowledgeable people that help with benefits such as PIP.

Hi @66Mustang. I'm really glad you're enjoying your time here on the community and have found it friendly and useful. 
It's been running a while but has grown rapidly in the past few years.

The charity has. The forums only began in 2009 I think.
