    Hello @blonde68   Pleased to meet you welcome.

    Thank you for you post and sharing. Wish you the best for your birthday.  Please can I add sorry what has happened.

    Many of our community can and will identify what you are going through.

    We are a friendly supportive community. Plenty of advice, information and new friends.

    You need to consider looking at our benefit advice.  Helpful and useful lots of comments from community members.

    Might help. I know benefits are complex and confusing.

    Understand if I remember my award is till 2021. For PIP. Then it tells you in the letter will look again the year 2020.

    I hope that helps.

    Take care
