I had my pip assesment yesterday... Think it went ok the lady I seen was nice was unable to do some of the physical assessment as my hand was in its worst state thank goodness.
Will hear back in 4 weeks she said so fingers crossed.
Aye trev how was your walking ? And were you assessed at home , my one was done at home good luck to you trev hope it goes well
Ian
Good morning Ian...
was your PIP up for renewal or a new claim?
Im already on DLA for my spine issues and got it awarded for life but with this PIP coming in this is the governments get out to reassess us all. Hopefully common sense will prevail but I doubt it. It annoys me as to why people with PD cant just get it awarded without assessments because the chances of us getting better is limited.
Trev.....we have never spoke before but I noticed you wearing your colours. If ever you want a bit of footy banter get in touch. I dont think youll escape the championship so easy this time around. Hope Im wrong.

Am still waiting
Ach goodnight zzz zzz zzz !!!!
Hi Smoggy guessing your a boro fan your team will have to do me a favour and beat the mackems unless your a mackem fan haha... Hopefully we will get out the championship first time of asking but it's a hard place to get out of we managed last time but we had the likes of Nolan,Barton etc... that said we have signed some quality players with championship experience.
Hi Ian I traveled to the assessment centre for my pip if I get any problems and don't get passed I'll have my PD nurse to write a supporting letter as she said she would... Hopefully it doesn't come to that... How you been keeping your walking any better?
Trev
Hi Trev.......100% boro mate so wash your mouth out please. Hope you get back up 1st time of asking the championship is full of fighters. And yeah Nolan and Barton done their jobs as did Merson for us years ago. Foreign players cant cut championship football in my opinion so that may be your problem.
Take care
John
