Hi 

New to this
I have ms as 5 years but never bothered applying for anything. I was then hit with Guillain Barre syntrom last year. Unfortunately both things target the same part of the body. It has flared my ms up worse than normal. I had to learn how to walk and all again. I applied for pip for the first time. I scored 8 points overall. I said what my day to day is like but the assessor says different. I have sent of for an Mr but just wondering what the timescales are likely to be. This has drove my anxiety mad worse than normal.

    Thanks for your reply. Is there anything else I need to do or just leave it?

    Nothing more you can do but wait. Once the decision's been made you will receive a letter.

    Review what you've sent them so far and if you think there is more you can tell them you can send in extra information.
