I'm looking for advice about whether to apply for PIP or not

willie67

Hello everyone going through another flare up, third in the last 16 weeks more antibiotics and steroids, now been told getting put on a nebuliser 2 times a day so hopefully feel better soon,hope everyone's doing well I've came across this page looking for advice about whether to apply for pip or not, my weight has ballooned over the last several years I'm know 23 stones, sick and tired of doctors telling me to loose weight (as if I want to be this size) I used to work on the roads and although I was big,  17 stone I was very active, then a bout of ammonia and a week in hospital,my feet packed in took several months to get help with them by wich time my breathing got worse my back and knees went and the weight piled on so here I am 6 years later fat in constant pain and un able to get from my chair the the kitchen without sounding like I just ran a marathon lol, 
Sorry for the long post just feeling a bit sorry for myself 😥

Hello @willie67 - & welcome to the community. I do hope you begin to feel better soon as you've certainly gone through a lot.

As far as PIP goes, you could have a look at the following links, & then come back with any questions:
