    Hi everyone, it’s the summer holidays so I’ve been busy with my children.


    just to update-I got a text from DWP saying that they expect to look at my case by 29/10/25…

    I went to see a mental health nurse. To be honest it wasn’t helpful. I wanted to get help with the masking and was told to go to this certain autism organisation in my area and pay for therapy. Well I will if I get PIP… 😏

    me again.

    Well I have had an awful few weeks. I have had Uvetis. I’ve gone partially sighted in one eye. I’ve an eye hospital appointment in a few weeks to find out more as I had to go to eye casualty as was in so much pain and my eye was completely blood shot.


    do I contact DWP to update them about this because one of the reasonings to refuse pip was that my eye conditions where not under a consultant at the time of requesting a claim. Yet will be now. Any advice please?

    Hey @Everythingzrosie sorry to hear you've been having a rough time. Can I just confirm what stage of the PIP process you're currently at? Is this for a MR?

    OK thanks @Everythingzrosie I believe you can still send them information that may help your case.

    @Albus_Scope ah great thank you, I will contact them, well my husband will because I hate talking on the phone… plus feel like they are trying to catch you out with how you respond. Doesn’t help the anxiety 😟

    @Everythingzrosie hello my friend!! So firstly I want to say you'll be ok. So many get turned down at this stage. The MN is usually the same. So I've been in your position. I went to tribunal. Its much better. You sit in front of 3 people. 1 magistrate 1 impartial independent civilian and a medical professional in your field of disability. When you talk to people that understand the illness its better. PLEASE REMEMBER THIS. ITS IMPORTANT!! Your answers must reflect how you are on your SICKEST DAYS. They do put that on the claim form but its tiny. This entire process is meant to filter out the cheats but also to exhaust people to the point that they give up through stress. The tribunal sounds scary but its the best because no-one there is trying to save money for the DWP. Good luck with it all.
