Hello everybody
just wanted to give you an update regarding my PIP application
so I replied back last year 2021 October it’s been nearly 8 months now I gave basically no evidence whatsoever just my GP record and a letter from a family friend I did not send thousands of evidence so it just goes to show you don’t need to send loads of evidence and doctors GP letters or physiotherapy letters
from when I first applied
is my first time applying for personal independent payment
and I’m pleased to announce I’ve been awarded on both parts daily living and mobility
It’s been very stressful if I was to give anyone advise I would say DWP or working their way through backlogs
i’ve also received my backdated money which I’m absolutely over the moon with it will definitely help me financially
i’d also like to give a massive thank you for all the advice and support to everyone who has message me regarding my recent threats
it’s been a long way it’s very worth it in the end also would like to add anybody going through the process especially their assessment
it’s basically just tell the truth and how your condition affects you on a daily basis
just be honest and open

My anxiety feels 10 times better now I’m so glad the whole procedure has come to an end

Regarding what you said below, can I ask what you mean by threats? I'm not sure if you meant to write threads, so just wanted to check what you meant here:’Id also like to give a massive thank you for all the advice and support to everyone who has message me regarding my recent threats1 -
