Working With Fibro
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

How many of us manage to work full time? For those that get financial aid such as DLA/PIP was it hard fighting for it?

1st time I was awarded PIP wasn't a problem but then when I went 4 a review my mobility side of it was taken away even tho my symptoms had got worse wot I did get points taken away from me 4 was because I could drive a manual car n get 2 places wiv a sat navigation! However I did appeal n it got reinstated at standard rate. My family worker wasn't happy with that n wrote a letter on my behalf but their decision was upheld (that's when I found out about t manual car). Just remember 2 tell them ur worse day x10 n I make sure I av an afternoon appointment so can do sum jobs in morning 2 elevate my pains x oh n make sure sum1 goes wiv u n they drive u 2 t appointment cos if u can drive u find it very difficult!
