This forum is a great resource for everyone trying to understand the benefits system and how to make a genuine claim. Many members freely give their time and knowledge to help those that have nowhere else to turn, to point people in the right direction to get the assistance they need.
There are many things that are misunderstood within the benefits system,
Is it a medical assesment or an assesment of functionallity ?
What is the difference ?
How much evidence do you really need ?
Does the assesor need multiple degrees in all branches of medicine ?
Why does a diagnosis not guarantee a PIP award when DLA was for life ?
I am sure there are many more
I just wanted to say a big Thank you to all the champions and other members for a great job
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste

Hello @CockneyRebel My friend thank you for kind words.
I know what makes this forum great is the breath of knowledge all of us convey to each and every one who comes onto the community.
Also being supportive to those members who are having distressing, emotional difficulties in their lives.
We do understand and continue to do so.
Especially the benefit system and the assessments that continue to hurt and harm those who wishing to have the necessary monies to maintain their lives.
Pleasure to have met every one.
Take care.
