Ahh yes I learned the hard way about the call costs, over these last few months the calls have cost me about £40 with those long waits trying to get through!!
I discovered after that those calls were included in my mobile phone package so use that now.
I'll just be good and wait for the letter

I've got constant butterflies waiting, it's only been since last Thursday when that nurse called me!

Ahh ok thank you Gordon!
I did call the pip line this morning and she said my report was currently being looked at, she also said she would get me a copy of the report. She asked if the dwp were waiting on any medical information for me and I said I am unsure. She said no that's fine just thought I'd check, so bit worried there is a note on my file about info

She was such a nice lady though she really put a smile on my face

I've just got back from the Dr's again! They are making me go every 2 weeks because of my antipsychotics, but now I have been put on another tablet because he said my bloods showed that I have an underactive thyroid.
I am taking so many tablets a day it's ridiculous! Well it's 10 tablets but seems a lot to me, I know people have a lot more a day, seems for a 35 year old with no psychical disabilities to be a lot though!
Here's hoping my sertraline don't affect my new thyroid tablets as the leaflet says they can affect the way the tablets work

I said that's fine but I am wondering why it is being looked at by a case manager?
This has made me nervous.
I was expecting to hear that a decision maker was looking at it.
Is it normal to be looked at by a case manager before a decision maker? Are they essentially the same thing?
Thanks
