I have had to notify PIP of my changes.

I still have neuropathy in hands and feet. Heart failure. But the side effects of the drugs are horrendous. My memory is totally shot my husband has to check everything is dokay! I can't even manage to sort my own drugs out. Im petrified of going out alone because ive had a few falls and now my immune system is on the floor im paranoid about catching infections.Can anybody give me some advice on filling out the forms please?

      I did and I only learnt about if from this site. I didn't actually claim until I was on dialysis so had developed loads of different health problems. I would say though try and get citizens advice or a specialised solicitor to fill in your forms. Good luck but.mostly good luck with the dialysis which it quite daunting at first until you get used to it!
