You are welcome @raquel19. It is the very least you deserve.

It is really positive to hear the surgery went well. Hope you can get all the rest and healing you need and deserve.

Good luck with getting the other hand done in a few weeks. How are you feeling about that at the moment?

Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can do anything else to support you. We are all here for you

Hi I'm more confident getting second one done now I know how it feels but it will be my dominant hand so will definitely be harder !

I do have one quick question

I got my text saying I've been awarded pip last Thursday I know money takes 3/5 days but does it usually take 3 or more the latter ?I mean in most people's cases if it doesn't differ .
Hope that makes sense x

Hi @raquel19 It's nice to meet you and I hope you're having a nice Monday.

I hope your PIP award helps make your outgoings more manageable. I've had a little look and it tends to vary between those 3-5 working days as to when payment drops, so we wouldn't be able to reliably advise on a specific day I'm afraid. Positively, it shouldn't be too long a wait if you received the text on Thursday.

Are you coping okay financially at the moment? I realise times are hard for lots of us, but if we can help in any way please just give us a shout.

Take care and speak soon.

raquel19
