Hello I'm Rachel 37 and mum to two children 17/19 just been awarded pip for metal and physical health issues
I was working up untill this may but struggling with it all so much I had to admit defeat ! I am strong but I need to put my health first for once and think of myself. It's been a real help reading others situations while I've been going through this process and decided to join and introduce myself so hello to you all and thankyou for having me .
Much love to you all

Surgery went well lots of rest and healing and still got to have the other hand done in a few weeks !
Thankyou for the warm welcome . Xx0 -

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 you0 -
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 x0 -
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.0 -
