Hi Ann and wellcome
First thing is to take the self test on the B&W site

Then come back with any questions

Hi Ann, have you applied for pip, and if so have you had your assessment yet?
I did not get mine the first time I applied but think it helped that I got a letter from my cbt therapist and children's social worker so if you have any professionals involved in your care ask them to write a short statement for you. Good luck! -
Hi @proud_nana82, I haven’t applied yet I’ll ask the professionals for a letter, what did your write?
