PIP Success!

After having to go through the "fun" experience of having a medical on my birthday, I am relieved to be able to report my claim has been successful and I've been awarded PIP middle rate daily living and lower rate mobility for two years. It took about five weeks for me to get the results in the post but they were very good and let me know after a couple of weeks it might take awhile, so do be prepared for a bit of a wait.

Just wanted to share this news to give hope to anyone going through the stress of claiming. And also to say that my medical was carried out in the most professional and respectful manner, so hang in there if you're waiting for your own. It's not all bad news and horror stories, thank goodness.

Thanks, Gordon. It's a huge relief and I have to say thanks to the people on these forums for calming me down when I was in a panic about having two medicals in the same week. It really helped me to deal with the experience.

One small amendment to my original post - I meant to say I've been granted "standard" rate for both living and daily care. Can't seem to edit that.
