    Hi @ali1962, welcome to the community!

    Hopefully some of our members can provide some personal advice and experience. For more general information about what to expect and how to prepare, have you also had a look at our information about PIP? 

    Please get in touch if you have any questions!

    Hi Ali
    Ally here! Yes I receive pip and have a diagnosis of bipolar.  I should have asked for a mandatory reconsideration as some stuff was ignored but foolish you I was just relieved that I had actually got it.
    If I can be of any help let me know. Ally

    My daughter is Bipolar and was recently called in for assessment.  Sure she said she got high care, has carers going in 7 days a week. She was pleased to get low mobility as last time she was assessed  here mobility element was taken away.
    When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

    You've commented on a thread that's 5 years old and the member hasn't been active in all that time.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
