I seem to recall there other categories or factors were introduced in PIP that hadn't been in DLA. I only ever claimed mobility under that, but I...
Yep. On the other hand, one of the dangers of unifying the two could be that AA is in some respects "easier" to document than PIP, as there's an...
Yes, that is an interesting one. But there are also people like my mate who doesn't have the NI credits because they lived on her partner's...
I like that story!
No, it doesn't clear on Safari unless you click one of the links above it. And it's not one of those screens that gets held up because the cookie...
Do we need a test, though? If there were one, would it tell us anything we don't know? We do need an explanation, but I'm less sure about a test....
You don't need to have the assistance, only to need it. My 4 is for being unable to prepare and cook a simple meal without supervision or...
My highest's 4 too, but I know someone with severe MS who has 8. No one with ME/CFS though. Some would lose it, some (perhaps a minority?)...
This might sound more convincing... ...if it hadn't been preceded by this. I suppose it's helpful to know it's not clear what was even being...
Can't answer for Sasha, but almost. After the AZ vaccine I felt as if I could run up a mountain, while singing. I cleaned the entire house in two...
Yes, a proportion of patients say it is. If it happens to you every time you pick up a bug, it's a marked change. In my case it's unusual and...
No, it doesn't sound out of the way. Especially as the job usually involves creating a set of assets that are used elsewhere, it's rarely only a...
They might. But that doesn't explain why the same people report always feeling better with an infection. Or why the same thing should happen with...
Ditto AZ Covid vaccine. It really was EPIC for a week. Then, as you say, gone.
No, in the discussions I've had over the last 20-odd years, people didn't mean that. They talked about remissions lasting years, as periods of...
I've got a feeling Rob Phair might have posted asking for descriptions of remission experiences on S4ME. I'm pretty sure I wrote one, but I doubt...
In the messages below it says there were 25 descriptions in response to a question from Rob Phair. I don't know how many people contributed them,...
I have done, yes, when I was very unwell. My GP prescribed a compact indoor chair for me. I returned it to the NHS after a few years because I...
This is part of the problem. The message doesn't even make any sense; PIP is nothing to do with work in the first place, so why make it the...
PS: If your legs are okay to hoik the footrest upright with one heel, it's a very good way of making sharp turns through doorways easier. It...
