Just an update for me. First time applying, asked to start my claim at the end of September, filled in online forms by the end of October. The only evidence I sent in was a GP summery and details for the fibro nurse and psychotherapy that i have been seeing.
Assesment on the 3rd of Febuary, the nurse was lovley.
I applied for Fibromyalgia and depression and Anxiety, the report was received the next day so I called for a copy. She was fair with her report, gave 11 points for care and 12 for mobility.
I feel that I was entitled to the social support points and help getting in and out of the bath but other then that was happy.
I called this morning to check on progress, selected option 6 and it told me my next payment date. It seems the DM has gone with the repot and given standard care and High mobility.
I'm not going to risk a MR because they may decide to take away points.
So overall despite a really long wait I'm happy with the outcome.
