Hi @deab - welcome to the community, & thank you for joining, & for all your service in the army. You certainly must have seen so much in Iraq & Afghanistan, & the impact it has should be recognised. I hope you are now receiving any help & support you need. I'm sure you'll like this friendly & supportive forum & hope to see you looking around. If you fancy some light hearted chat & word games you may like our virtual 'Coffee lounge.' You're also welcome to join in with any discussions, or just chat here any time.

Welcome to the community @deab Thanks for sharing a bit about yourself and your story so far.
Well done on getting the level of PIP you deserve on appeal- I can appreciate that won't have been an easy process.
Have you been receiving enough support since you left the army? -
Thank you for your kind words no since I came out the army I've had no support but my local mo is going to make things happen for me so hopefully I will have the support soon

I'm sorry that you haven't received any support so far, but it's good to hear that you're hopefully on the road to accessing some support @deab. The Veterans' Gateway also has some useful information about how and where to access support.
