Hi everyone i am a newbie! was created by Mary
I just wanted to say hi to everyone i have recently signed up to the site after weeks of just reading some info.
I am recovering from Breast Cancer i finished my treatment in Oct/Nov 2015 and have been left with severe side affects.
I have already had one mastectomy and will be getting another June/July i am currently in remission.
I am in receipt of ESA and in support group and i am going to try for PIP and in the process of filling in the form.................and what a form it is i am doing a bit each as my concentration is really bad along with my memory and i get really tired.
I am using all the members guides to help i know i will probably be turned down but they can only say no! and i figured since i faced Cancer i can do this!

Mary Anne ,

just a thought, have to asked if your local Macmillan center has a welfare benefits adviser? I have an ex colleague friend who is a WBA for Macmillan and their funding for such job , is still ongoing. part of her role is to assist cancer patients with form filling and appeals.

By all means the BW- PIP guide is, in my opinion, the best i have ever come across. pace each question , my form was due is in on 11 may , i got it in , not heard a word since, im expecting a knock back . but we will see.

wishing you lots positive energy :-)
