Today I have had to go and renew my free bus pass from the local council house. I turned up waited 20 minutes to be told my disability letter is too old its 5 years old and is due for renewal next month. I am in the process of being assessed by the new benefit we are all going on in the UK called PIP (Personal Independant Plan) I only had my assessment on 21st June. They will take anywhere between 4-8 weeks to decide I can't wait that long. My letter will not be renewed from the Disability place cause of this. Which means come 18th July I will NOT have a buss pass and will have to pay for my travel as I live too far out to walk into the city centre. I can't afford this as if I am declined PIP they will stop my money as I am no longer allowed to have it. I will then have to appeal PIP which can take up to 2 months. Can you tell I am stressing out!! I have had a cry this afternoon cause of this I am worried sick. I am going to talk to my worker on Tuesday see if she can do anything.... doubt it though. I know my PIP paperwork has been sent in from the assessment centre as the lady on the phone said so. So that's a relief. I have been told some people have had their's through the post in 6 weeks.... I don't have 6 weeks.
Sorry for being such a pain my anxiety is through the roof and maybe its partly cause I am off my meds and partly cause I am high strung???????????? Who knows
I am pretending everything is good but I don't think I am
