I rung to ask about progress of the assesors report and the advisor told me a decision has been posted yesterday and she could tell me the award on the phone and I was told I got enhanced daily living no mobility (didn't want mobility). She told me my backpay be paid on the 19th. Award for 3 years.
I'm in tears crying with happiness I really expected to fail and hoped I get standard daily living so this is a big plus I didn't think I qualify for mobility so I'm ecstatic with this.
I like to thank everyone for their advice on here just in tears here I never get good news was homeless twice and I never thought I deserved any good luck or a break so I feel very emotional currently.
I'll stay on here and help those I can I really appreciate this place and the kindness I've been shown here.

As for the scheme itself, as PIP can change from award to award, there isn't the certainty of retaining the mobility award as compared to DLA.
In the past 5 years I have had three mobility cars repossessed due to losing the award.
Much safer to buy your own car which can never be taken back.

I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
I should add I didn't aim for mobility as I do need someone to travel with me on my most anxious days but not all the time, I felt being fully honest was correct and now with enhanced daily living and the severe disability premium which I phoned esa about I'll be comfortable financially and have less stress overall.
I only have the esa assessment to worry about whenever they send me a appointment for that (sent esa50 off in November) but even worst case I lose it and appeal I have this pip to fall back on.
It's basically given me a lifeline now I've got therapy starting in January and autism group support with 12 people for 12 weeks so I'm hoping I can focus all my energy on getting better now.
First time in 7 years I have actually been happy, I can have a good Christmas pay off my debts, treat those who were kind to me and move on with my life. Still can't believe it, but I really appreciate the folks on this forum who gave me advice and their best wishes. -

If I had have had my own car then it would still be here no matter what games the DWP wanted to play.
