    Hi and wlecome,

    Your post is difficult to read and it's not clear what exactly you need help with. Could you be more specific please?
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hi @Tra38 - & welcome to the community. As far as your health issues go, I would be guided by your GP, & physiotherapy seems like a good idea to see if that can help your mobility. Was it PIP that you applied for? If so, it sounds like there was little change with your Mandatory Reconsideration (MR). Are you waiting for a tribunal now, or did you not appeal further after your MR?
    If you reply, we may be able to help/advise with your benefit claim. :)
