I have chronic back pain from degenerative disc desease. I've have had pain for the past twenty years. Only qualified for pip three years ago I'm never going to get better but still need reviews every year. Why? Medical reports attested to this yet still have to do the travelling and reviewing. Crazy mad system.

Hello @ZarinaB and welcome to the community. Good to have you with us.
'Crazy mad system'? I don't think you'll find many here who will disagree. You're certainly not alone.
You will find others here, too, who suffer from chronic pain, and one way to get in touch with them is to look at the Dealing with chronic pain thread here.
If you feel up to it, perhaps you could tell us a little more about yourself? The better we get to know you, the more easily we may find ways to be of use to you.
Warmest best wishes,
Richard

Hi guys thank you for the warm welcome I lost myself and forgot I signed up here. Meds is wiping my memories. I used to pride myself on a great memory now I feel like my brains in a fog. Not nice at all. I'm a single mum and a carer for my 12 year old autistic son.. I'm still awaiting a tribunal date hopefully soon. Thank you again for your help and support.
