Hey single mum to a son with adhd and autism. Here to make friends :) any one else in the same scenario ? X

I've received a text from the DWP on Monday saying I'd been awarded PIP. I originally rang them back on January and I believe I'm due some backpay.

Basically, I put it off for way too long until I had a massive burnout. Last Feb, I took the plunge to sort out my undiagnosed ADHD. I expected a fight, but the GP 100% agreed and stated that what I was experiencing was intrusive and would probably need meds. So that's all true a year later down the line. So the burnout…

When I was in a local corner shop a couple of days ago, I expressed surprise that the son, a full time student was behind the counter still, what with his studies.

I had asked about it at my GPs previously and was told it would…
