I am claiming ESA & PIP. I was claiming ESA when I was on DLA. When I was being accessed for PIP I got turned down after the initial interview, went to a mandatory reconsideration, got turned down again, but when I took it to a tribunal I won my case & am happily receiving PIP.

Hi @telscope

Hi Antonia,
Good to speak to you & Yes, it has made my life a lot easier & less stressful, especially with someone like me, who has epilepsy. Until I have a seizure, it is an invisible neurological disability. Many people in the past, if they saw some one having a seizure, would think they were drunk, but I think a more understanding public nowadays won't think along those lines.
