    Hi @Willwill, and another warm welcome to the community!

    I'm sorry to hear about your experiences, and as the others have said, it's great to hear that you've been so proactive in beginning the appeals process. I hope things move forwards as efficiently as possible for you. If you have any questions in the meantime, do feel free to post them in our PIP/DLA discussions.
