How is your day going?

I am really so so. Hope you are ok. But it is hard.

Hi @Schildpad I know the advice centre I use request an extension for returning pip form as there isn't enough time to get an appointment and it's always granted.

Hope this puts your mind at ease.

@Marydoll5 thanks.. have appointment with the hospital will tell the psychologist about it and maybe can get help from the social worker helped me last time or a new one. Maybe they will this time but always busy. Will see. . I need all this out of my chest. Very distressing.

We did @Marydoll5 ,they took it down on the 10th of this month.We were away at the time.

I'm quite disappointed about having no use for those awful blue lights now.

No they ask in form do you need help with budgeting as I do I will spend it all thats part of my condition No they don't ask what you spend pip on and remember you can have thousands in bank and still claim pip I've always done for myself I just write everything from morning tonight you can get family friends to write letter explaining your illness if they support or see your struggles you can request doctors notes by asking for SARS form can go back years and it's free put your prescription in form any letters from consultants ect

@Catherine21 thanks so much. I wish I had an understanding family but will get a letter from my psychologist I hope. I am really anxious. I guess it is better not to think about it.

Happy birthday. I think it was. Right. Sorry I just can not read all the messages.

I am gonna just think I will get not get it. As long as they do not stop ESA. I guess I will survive.

I might have to fill that form on my own.. it is too much anxiety to try to get people to help me. It is too distressing. Will see.

I overspend as well. I go to the supermarket and spend money and food keeps pilling up. But before I would not buy food at all or very little. I am hoping for a good year. But really I hope it is not worse than this one.. as long as it is the same I am happy. Better not to read the papers .… All the scaremongering.

II'm The same I overspend on food and throw it away I sent my form off in July for some reason im not anxious I think it's because they been extending them so have a year at least it's shows you need support if you have a support worker and I keep saying all new changes for us will be years away yes try not to engage in news last year I thought sunak was talking directly to me I went down out of my mind with fear and nothing happened when my form came I had to force myself just to fill it and send remember you may have months after form sent we will be fine
