it’s a hard fright and thought all my fighting days were over 
any help and advice on letters of supporting evidence gratefully received

    Hello @jan1991 and welcome to the community. Very glad to have you here.
    I'm relatively new here myself, but I can tell you that the number of posts I've already seen about PIP only goes to demonstrate just how badly these things are being handled by the so-called 'professionals'. However, my ranting won't help.
    I can tell you that there is a lot of knowledge here, and useful information, some of which you will find in the links on the purple band across the bottom of the page. Check out, in particular, those listed under Employment, finances and disability benefits. I'm putting in here a link to the 'Ask a benefits advisor', since that might be a useful starting point:
    https://community.scope.org.uk/categories/ask-a-benefits-advisor
    You're in a safe place, here, and among friends, many of whom will have had very similar experiences to your own, so don't hesitate to tell us more or to ask us any questions.
    Warmest best wishes to you, and to yours,

    Richard
