    I'm sorry it's causing you so much worry @yellowpineapple84. I really hope that everything will be ok. Have you got any plans this week that could help take your mind off it a little bit?

    Hi, thanks for your reply. Not really, I’m too afraid to spend money now in case I’m going to really need it in case the worst should happen. I’ve got myself down to one meal a day in preparation. Just been planning for the worst the last few days. Don’t go out, don’t spend money, keep myself to myself. Before I first got PIP I remember how much of a struggle it was and the economy is worse now than it was then so I feel quite bleak. It’s also a horrible feeling knowing that my life is in the hands of a total stranger who doesn’t know me, they could deny me support so easily without a care in the world and move onto their next name on a list and that’s quite scary

    Hi @yellowpineapple84 sorry I've not seen your post for a little while. I'm pleased you managed to get another extension and it made it's way to them ok. It's completely understandable your worried, but I just know you've put so much time and energy into ensuring you've done the best possible job with the paperwork.

    I'm so sorry it's impacting you to the point you've reduced your meals to one. Have you thought about perhaps reaching out to a local foodbank to help ease some of the pressure on you? Your local council should have a bank that they use but if you want some additional links, please let me know. I'm also going to pop you an email with some potential support options, whilst things are so worrying for you at the minute.

    I hope you hear back soon and that in the near future, this is all just a distant memory but please look after yourself in the meantime.

    Hi, thanks for your email. I don’t feel I can go forward with the suggestions in it, thanks for writing though. Just really hoping the review will go my way and that I can be okay. Trying to prepare myself for the worst outcome as best I can
