    Hello @kit53. Welcome to Scope’s forum. It is great to see you have joined us.

    Thanks for already finding the courage to reach out to us. I appreciate it takes a lot of courage to reach out, especially when you are new and finding things difficult.

    It sounds really positive that you were able to get it. Hopefully, you will be able to receive your money soon. Though, I can hear that since this your mobility and mental health have become a lot worse.

    When you ask how people cope when they have a few chronic health issues, could you tell us more about which sense you mean this?

    Hopefully, people will be able to respond and support you soon but multiple chronic health issues look different for everyone. This is especially the case because people have different main symptoms.

    Take care for now and we will look forward to hopefully hearing from you again soon and providing you with the support you are looking for and deserve  :)
