Don't know if anyone else has been through this but yesterday I had my home visit for my pip medical, a nurse came out with her laptop asked me loads of questions, looked at my legs then said that was it I would be hearing from pip in due course, I have chronic arthritis in my legs and spine and my mobility is very limited I also have chronic depression, I have no idea if I have qualified or not, but after much thinking have decided if the outcome is not what I expect I will appeal and fight the decision, as I just can't cope with everyday life without help from my carer, don't think they understand how even with pain medication there is never a time you are not in pain if just varies from day to day how painful.

I know there are probably people a lot worse off than me but we just have to fight on!!! To me why should you not get benefits you are entitled to that can help your life!!! I have come close so many times to not wanting to be here. :( :( :( :( :(

Try to stay positive I know it's hard xx.

PIP Decision are taking about 4-5 weeks at the moment, you should be able to request the assessment report at the end of the week by contacting the DWP office dealing with your claim.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Thx Gordon, I am going to fight to get what I'm entitled to if I have to, I have absolutely nothing to hide I can't do a lot of things unaided eg walking, getting in and out of bed, think the main thing that needs to be understood is there are a lot of people like myself that are in genuine need!
