    @33Babydoll, hello and welcome. You haven't said if you are migrating from DLA to PIP or not.  A lot of people moving between the two benefits are not getting any mobility awards. And about 60% do get awards when and if they appeal. The criteria for mobility issues between the two benefits are different where you qualified under the DLA you don't under the PIP criteria. Every one should or do take a self test of PIP to see how they fair in the point scoring system. Having taken the self test they will know what their chances are of getting an award for care and or mobility. When doing a self test be honest with your self because the answers you submit in your PIP  applecation form will have to be justified at your face to face acessment.

    I was already getting pip but I added fybro on n then lost mobility but it was the same lady as I had the first time so I felt comfortable with her she asked if I could travel without causing stress I said sometimes n it come back I'd no points for that one but my family go a lot of places with me since the fybro started to get worse n my anxiety got worse but it's soul destroying they make you feel awful for going like your a liar or a scrounger I took proof of adaptations n I don't walk far with my hip

    Take a proper look at the mobility descriptors - stress isn't the sole criteria. Get some help with the appeal form. It's mind blowing they'd take away your mobility withe condition you have.

    You have to owe at least £5000 to be adjudged bankrupt. It will take a long time before you get to that amount - just over 5 years!
    There are other options an IVA or a DRO may help.
