Hi all newbies
I too am quite a newbie and still finding my way around .
In fact, I'm wondering if I am even posting this in the right place! I'm sort of testing it?
Anyway, hello all. So far I have found this a very friendly place and received some good advice last week.

Hi @steve21
Just hoping to give support, receive support and chat in general.
Think I'm getting the hang of it here thanks. I can be quite a chatterbox when I get going so I hope I don't bore / irritate people
I have a long list of illnesses and like many others, having to negotiate the bonkers benefits system, tackle physical and emotional difficulties indoors and outdoors. Usually manage to keep smiling though
How about you?

Hi @paffuto10
That will be great as we all need somewhere to get help & support.
Don't worry about going on & on this helps tremendously believe me.
Yes it is like a "Mine Feeled" getting your "head" around the "Benefit Sys"
The "Mental /Physical" aspect's tend to get over looked.

Thanks for the welcome
Managing to find my way around now and what a friendly , informative place it is.
Being in the midst of two PIP's (myself and adult son) I came for support, advice and that's what I've found
Son's PIP is all done now and satisfactory result after MR. Just mine to go now, next week.
Also came for a nosey, chat and to support others.
It's been great, think you're all stuck with me now.!!
Wish I'd joined sooner -
