in Start here and say hello!
I am currently shielding - I haven't been out since Christmas - first the village was flooded , then bad weather and then -you know what arrived. I have to be honest being stuck indoors hasn't bothered me really, I enjoy sitting in my garden with a drink, and the more I see of what's happening in the great outdoors, the only thing I think I will miss is foreign holidays. 
I know I need help sorting benefits out as at the moment I only receive PIP lowest mobility and my State Pension, but guess I am scared of rocking the boat - I don't think I am alone on this.
When I was young and fit I would take on any problem , but now....I guess it comes to us all.
Anyway I hope to make some new friends and contacts here.
All the best
Stay Safe

    Hi @janer1967
    Certainly seems friendly, well informed community.
    First question - nothing to do with benefits! I was going to post a profile photo but when i try to "trim it" it won't let me save or upload it. Obviously I am doing something wrong but, Hey Ho that's life lol
