Hello @Hailz36 Pleased to meet you welcome.

Thank you for joining and sharing.

I am one of the team of community champions who offer advice, guidance, information to new members joining.

Sorry what has happened . Have you tried Benefits and Works PIP self test.

This is a useful idea to give you some ideas of what you could score in PIP.

Also if you unhappy with a benefit decision . You can appeal . You will need to request a mandatory reconsideration.

We have lots of information about appealing a DWP benefits decision    On our website which you might find useful.

Are you getting any support with you Bipolar if not have look on line.  I have mental health issues myself. May I advise worth having a look. Something to consider.

https://wwwrichmondfellowship.org.uk.  Is one such charity I used. Helped with benefits and anything else.

One other suggestion having problems reading council letter ask them to send you . Audio tapes or CD.  

Please can I also suggest speak to CAB about your housing issues. Go and make an appointments to seek advice. Regarding any correspondence.  I know that might be difficult  with your panic attacks but they do and are very pleasant.

I was nervous first time went and have a lot of anxiety. To give you reassurance..

I use them for form filling in, benefit knowledge and expertise.  

Please take care.
