I have fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, severe joint and peripheral nerve pain, extreme fatigue etc. I am on ESA, but have been told I should be receiving PIP? .. The problem is, I feel so low and unwell now, that I am really finding it hard to get my life together anymore. I feel u able to cope, and don't know who to turn to for help and support.

Hello @Lindy123, welcome to the community.
I'm sorry to hear you're having a tough time. What support are you getting at the moment?
If you're unsure if you are eligible, you can try this PIP self-test. We also have some information about PIP that you might like to have look at. Your local Citizen's Advice may be able to support you with claiming PIP.
Have you spoken to a professional regarding feeling low? We do have an ask a mental health advisor group and a group regarding mental health issues. -

@Lindy123
a big hug to you, do try the scope self test pip form then you will see if you have a chance of being awarded pip. Please be honest with yourself when doing self test other wise you have false hope. Good luck and prayers to you.
