Welcome to the community @Loltranter1 How are you doing today?
Thank you for posting about this. Many people, especially disabled people, are struggling with the cost of living crisis at the moment.I also tried to get a disabled train card but they wouldn't accept my pip papers from last yearAre you still receiving PIP?
As you've mentioned having cancer, I'm wondering whether you might also find it helpful to speak to Macmillan.
