?I've had a severe anxiety disorder since 2010 but was also diagnosed with fibromyalgia in december 2015 which hit me all of a sudden & without warning. So I applied for esa support group and pip and finally after dealing with the DWP for 9 months i have been sucsessfull in my claims. i did get esa support group and standard living & mobility for pip.
?It has been a very long and stressful 9 months and although it wasn't straight forward with mandatory recons and such, getting there in the end has made it all worth while.
I just hope i get left alone now for at least a year when it will start all over again with new assessments.
If anyone else is going through the same process hang in there and keep fighting.

I second that gill. I've just spent a very sleepless night thinking about my upcoming assessment and no-one really understands unless they have experienced it, which of course people on here have done.

I came to the same conclusion when thinking about whether I wanted to accept the offer to transfer to PIP from DLA.
With everything i read and my own previous experience and history with DWP and assessors I concluded that things couldn't get any sworse if I told the assessor that at 68 I still play first class rugby for my town, walk 20 miles a day with my 7 dogs and teach at a university! They seem to write what they want bar the truth in any event.
