I just want to say today I’ve been on the forum a whole year - I got my 1 year anniversary badge today.
Thank you to everyone - the Scope team and all the members alike - for making this such a nice place to be. I’ve been on other forums but genuinely none are as friendly and supportive as this one. I know like anything it has its faults but compared to a lot of the internet it is a fantastic place to be and I think we should be proud of it.
While the position I’m in right now is not enviable, it is far better than it could be. Notably I feel I may not be in the position I am in now if it weren’t for this forum. I’m referring to the help I got with my PIP mandatory reconsideration resulting in me getting a Motability vehicle, which is basically my life, but equally the daily support that I get from being on this forum.
I am looking forward to the next year.

wow thats so positive I have been told I can start driving again, I contacted DVLA who we’re super on the phone. I was pleased to hear I don’t have to do another driving test even though I haven’t driven for over 5 years. They stated they would put the forms in the post to me and 5 weeks on I still haven’t received them, well done unprecedented COVID-19. I would ring them back but I can’t find the number I used, can anyone help please.

Hi @66Mustang
Top man, first year in the forum, just lit my hog roast and mates arriving.Can you please provide a billing address! They eat and drink like it’s gone out of fashion.
Great that you feel comfortable in our community.
