Welcome to the community @Tra38, how are you doing today?

Hi @Tra38 - & welcome to the community. As far as your health issues go, I would be guided by your GP, & physiotherapy seems like a good idea to see if that can help your mobility. Was it PIP that you applied for? If so, it sounds like there was little change with your Mandatory Reconsideration (MR). Are you waiting for a tribunal now, or did you not appeal further after your MR?If you reply, we may be able to help/advise with your benefit claim.
