Hi @sharon13 - Welcome to the community & thank you for joining. I hope the recovery from your open heart surgery is going well. In what way are you having a difficult time with PIP? Hopefully someone may be able to help, or advise, if you say.

Hi @sharon13
Thank you for asking about my surgery, it’s been very difficult but I’m getting there, it’s a mechanical valve and I’m on warfarin my INR is never good nor stable now because of lots of mental health problems and 3 operations on my trigemral nerve now got to go to tribunal I feel like giving in but I can’t work and £58.00 per week is difficult to live off I got no contributions from work so esa is income based but oh is working -
@sharon13
Didn’t say, got the standard rate of PIP £58.00 but no mobility I have put in two MR first one got turned down because said paper form received too late and had to ask for MR I then asked for an other MR got 8 points so standard pip no mobility I then got all my mental health report but some new reports I waited for that went in too late so now saying tribunal if not happy with pip decision of no mobility -
