Disability Information Service in Kent.- based in Folkestone - run by two guys?
Travelled down there once but I won't say anything more as I might be banned on this site.

@thor14

Disabilty Rights UK site has a good guide to completing PIP forms including a draft diary you can adapt. Good idea to submit a 7 day diary with your PIP application.

Do you not have CAB or similar, or local authority welfare rights in Northern Ireland?

hi Matilda, I have spoke to cab this morning & they said as soon as my pip2 form comes in they will certainly help me, so in the meantime i’m Getting in touch with my doctor again for my medical evidence. Thanks everyone for your help.

This whole process is extremely stressful & that’s not helping people’s problems.

Yes it is I applied last July and it has now been referred back to the first tier tribunal

thor14 · September 2018

oh my goodness, that is so long, cannot believe it’s taken that long. This is making people ill. I do not know how they can justify that length of time.

shell73 · October 2018

Yes it is that's what I thought and now I have to wait for another tribunal

thor14 · October 2018

Good luck & i hope you don’t wait too long, this is inhumain what they are doing to people. I have just rang & started the first process of my pip & I feel extremely stressed, the horror stories I have read are very worrying.

Hi weaver, that was a quick decision . Did you have to go to a medical assessment?

janekim96P · October 2018

Hi Thor how lucky were you eh wish we could all have quick results it's the waiting that makes me and lot's of other people ill.

thor14 · October 2018

Hi weaver, I am seeing cab when my forms come in & I am hoping that mine is all paper based & there’s enough info as my dla forms are being submitted aswell from my last assessment, if I have to go for assessment I really don’t know how I will cope.

Good luck

Hi weaver, no it’s not mental health. I had an accident some years ago & injured my bk. then just a few wks ago I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia & osteoarthritis.

thor14 · October 2018

Hi weaver, thank you so much! I am dreading this whole process I cannot think of anything but how I am going to cope if I am put of & how I will pay people to do everyday things for me. Also if I lose my motability car which that’s the only thing that gives me a bit of independence.

debbiedo49 · October 2018

It can be a long and stressful process that's why you should try to get support if you can get it so you can have time to switch off from it. Good luck
