Hi thank you I was asking a question about pip as I am getting standard at the moment but I’m on 3 new medication so I phoned and told them and now there sending me a change of form to fill out so I’m a bit worried I have a hernia which is large and can’t carry anything my arthritis has got worst where I can only do a few steps now then I’m in pain even sitting in a chair I feel pain and I’m dealing with ibs as well do you get pip x

You didn't need to ring them to tell them this. A change of medication isn't a change of circumstances that needs reporting. A change of medication doesn't automatically entitle you to more points for a higher award.

Before reporting changes you should always get expert advice, though it's too late for you now but at least you know in future.

Hi I spoke to citizens advice and asked for there advice about this and they was the ones who told me to report my change as I can’t lift anything or stand to have a shower I’m not saying I got more points I was just advised to ring them as they said I need to do this as soon as possible.

Hello @yacine99

It has been a little while since you last posted. I just wanted to check in with you. How are you doing at the moment? I hope you are well but please don't hesitate to let us know if you need anything

yacine99

hi thank you for reaching out to me I’m ok but that being said I’m in a bit of pain with my arthritis in my ankles so feeling a little breathless from the pain xx

Hi @yacine99. You are more than welcome. Us reaching out to you is the very least we could do to support you.

Sorry to hear you are in pain with your arthritis in your ankles and feeling a little breathless from the pain at the moment. That sounds really difficult.

Is there anything, in particular, that usually helps you when you are in pain and feeling breathless from the pain? I am aware that different things work best for different people

yacine99

Hi there no nothing works for me and when I take trandmol it makes me feel dizzy I take my inhaler to help with the breathless thank you.

L_Volunteer

Hi @yacine99. Thanks for your response. It is really positive to hear your inhaler helps with your breathlessness.

Sorry to hear nothing works for your pain. I had the same reaction with tramadol (fibromyalgia) so I can empathise.

I hope you can at least get the relief you need soon and rest in the meantime. Do let us know if we can do anything to support you

yacine99

thank you so much I felt so alone a couple of weeks ago and didn’t want to be here but since I’ve found scope I don’t feel so alone thank you x

L_Volunteer

You are welcome @yacine99. It is the very least you deserve. I am glad to hear you don't feel so alone now you have found Scope's forum. Please do let us know if we can do anything to help

yacine99

Hi thank you scope was helping me with pip thank you.

Alex_Alumni

Hello @yacine99 how have you been?

I'm really glad to hear that Scope has been able to help you with your PIP

yacine99

Hi I have been really stressed out with this pip form I don’t know if I gave enough examples but my son is also going to write a letter I damaged the original envelope so I hope my one will be ok do people send it as a special delivery or recorded ?

Alex_Alumni

Hi @yacine99 I'm sure it will, as long as the address is clear.

I think all you would need is proof of postage, and make sure to keep copies of any letters you send off.

Put you National Insurance number at the top of the letter which your son will write as well.

yacine99

Yes thank you
