    Im 47 and had a Avm bleed when i was 35. I took about 4 years to recover to a stage where i felt i needed to return to some sort of limited work, i got bored! 
    I have done this with a lot of help and everything was going ok. Untill i changed from dwp to pip! They waved a magic wand and now im fully ok! Hahahaha i was refused. I need advice and lots of help as im not the most educated person. Thank you.

    Should of said.
    I have permanent double vision, ankle pain. Neck pain, back pain, knee pain, both arms pain. No balance on right hand side, headaches all the time, very emotional, get tired very quickly, memory is shocking! But i hide all thos and stiĺl smile!
    Just feeling a bit cheated as the pip say im ok.
    Even my doctor has written me a letter and given me a sick note to work 20 hours a week.
    He has known me before and after the bleed and knows what sort of guy i am.  Just having a rant. Lol sorry.
