in PIP, DLA, and AA
Hi
I am 51 yrs old and suffer from depression, anxiety, arthritis and other hidden disability.
Having a terrible time , trying to get pip ! 

Feel like I'm just hanging my head against a brick wall . I don't want to be disabled ,I would love to be normal .I certainly didn't ask to be disabled ,but I am !

    Thank you !
    I'm hoping that they will decide that I don't need a medical ? I have a hospital appointment in January which should give me more evidence.
    I'm also having weekly CBT, Don't know what I am going to do if they don't give me the pip ?
    Should I ring them and ask if I don't need a medical or wait till 27th November ?
