I don't want to be in this any more. My own family and friends have never disrespected me and called me names like Susanah18 did. I thought we were here for each other so how can I leave this app please

I never called you a witch . The sentence was meant to say ‘witch, no wonder why’, and arrogant isn’t a hurtful name . I just didn’t like it that you had no consideration for myself not being able to mentally understand you and you brushed it of saying not my fault, well it’s not my fault I was born with health conditions I don’t want to be disabled. As for the crumbling spine and depression I’m 18 and had extremely severe anxiety and depression and psychotic episodes since 15, I have autism, severe level learning disabilities, global development delay, fibromyalgia, CFS/ME, osteoarthritis all over my body and scoliosis and degenerate spine all confirmed in black and white. I’ve been raised to respect my elders but you wouldn’t like it if I started saying I don’t care about your back or depression so don’t disregard my disability like it’s fine to. Sorry if I upset you but that’s the reason, you got no need to leave as you get very good advice on here I personally don’t want you to feel you have to leave - as no one should. I said sorry, just move on and forget about it I’ll be the bigger person. Just in future when you come across a person with such problems don’t speak to them like there stupid then say it’s not my fault .. good luck with your claim and hope you get some peace soon ❤️

hi everyone, ive finally got through to the dwp after many days of trying by myself and my case worker  the lady on the phone was a little abrupt but I kept myself calm!!! my pip claim has been passed to the assessors, she wouldn't say when this was passed to them, I am now just waiting for their decision, wish me luck please, hope you are all managing to stay safe as well as you possibly can, ill update as and when I hear anything.

I sincerely hope all goes well for you. I am asking them to re consider my application for PIp (changing over from DLA in definately) as they haven't put the enhanced rate just the standard. It does take a good few weeks for your claim to be assessed but I wish you well and hope you get what you're entitled to. X
