    To be brutally honest, yes Joseph you do ? If you take a look at a lot of the claims for PIP on here and on a Fibromyalgia support site - FMAUK, the stories are unbelievable? Myself I have claimed for PIP due to my DLA ending after 30x years to make way for the new benefit (PIP,) I suffer from Fibromyalgia, Cervical Spondilosis, Coarctation of the Aorta, Angina, Severe Depression, Grand Mal Epilepsy (currently controlled,) Stress, Anxiety, High Blood Pressure, Wear hearing aids in both ears & COPD. I am currently starting my 4th or 5th claim (I've lost count to be honest?) After going through all the appeal hearings, tribunals etc! However there are a small few that are accepted, let's hope you are one of those eh? Good luck 😕

    Hi,

    Unfortunately a good many claimants have done just that, and still have not been awarded this terrible replacement for dla.

    It was supposed to be a fairer, non abuseable system, and for those who are awarded their correct benefits it obviously is.

    You have fallen into the trap of listing all that is wrong with you, instead of how each of your ailments affect your daily life. As has been advised many times on this site, to get the best outcome for your claim you really need expert advice and days of preparation and Evidence of your ills to stand a fair chance of success.

    Mike.
