    Hi @pearson! Welcome to the online community! I'm so sorry to hear about these events, this all sounds like it must be so tough for you and you are doing brilliantly. Do you find that your counsellors and psychologists can help with your fear of leaving the house? It always helps to talk to professionals about these very valid but debilitating and traumatic events. It sounds so difficult, am thinking of you.

    Welcome to the community @pearson
    Im sorry to hear you have had such a tough time.  Did you appeal the PIP decision? We can offer information and support around mandatory reconsideration and appeal if you want?
