I just wanted to say a hug thank-you to this site. I had backpay in my bank account this morning indicating I had received the enhanced daily living and mobility award for pip. This will be such a huge help as I had to retire early and then my husband did as he had to look after me. We can probably put the heating on a bit this winter I just wanted to say that without the site I would not have known how to fill in the form properly to show how my disabilities affect me and I would have been un prepared for my telephone assessment which was 3 hours!. (I did put a lot on my form and we had a lot to talk about.) If anyone is interested in the timeline. I applied 1st July, had telephone assessment 18th September, text message to say I had been awarded pip on 5th October and backpay in the bank today 10th October. Still awaiting decision letter but backpay adds up to roughly 14 times the enhanced rates. Thank you so much again as it’s going to make my life much more comfortable.
Many, many congratulations on your award. It is so good to hear. Glad that you got the back pay. Thank you for posting and telling us of your timeline - that's always interesting to hear.
I'm pleased that you found the guides so helpful. You were clearly very well-prepared. A three-hour assessment was a long one so it's wonderful you came out on top. Congratulations once again.
