    Sorry to hear that @Longcovid. Yes, hopefully there will be more support in the near future.

    Hello, I have long covid too. Had covid in July 2021 and symptoms just never went away. I applied for PIP in July, sent my forms in August, had my telephone assessment 20th Oct and I'm awaiting the outcome. Mine is so bad I can't walk anywhere without severe fatigue. Just a trip to the supermarket can have me bed bound/sofa bound for days. 
    I've not heard of anyone getting PIP for long covid symptoms but I live in hope because I'm in a desperate place of needing help 🤞 
    I'd urge you to apply. Good luck :)
