I wasn’t sure whether to say any thing or not because I felt kind of guilty that a few people on here were not successful with pip so I didn’t want to seem like I was bragging but it might help some people to hear a positive story . I called the pip line today to ask when my report was comming to my shock they told me I had been awarded pip for higher rate daily living and lower mobility I was so shocked I actually went into a panic .
There was a few posts on here about mental health and pip . I suffer with ocd , anxiety and ptsd psychosis . I was nearly killed by my exe partner and was in a abusive relationship with that same person when I was in my early and mid 20s I’m in my 30s now . The after affects of his abusive didn’t set in and until a couple of years after leaving the situation . I didn’t deal with my demon so to speak it got worst and worst over the years it’s taken over my life and I was starting to feel like a victim well today after hearing I got my pip made me feel like a survivor it’s really given me some independence Back . I’m not sure how long it was for forgot to ask but will get the letter soon .
im really happy but also feel bad for others who haven’t got there’s first time . I hope no one thinks I’m bragging I just wanted to share with you all . I really am grateful to you all for making me feel so welcome .
And just want to say that if there’s any one on here who is suffering with a mental illness don’t let that put you off from claiming pip it put me off and look what happened I was awarded it . Thank you to every one for your support
you have all made me feel like I’m not alone .
xx
