There is no harm in trying hun. I'm sorry for your diagnoses. Pip isn't about a diagnosis you have its all about how your effected daily with mundane chores can you wash yourself, get dressed without help can you cook for yourself can you walk pain free , how your medication effects you generally everyday things your conditions prevents you from doing. Hope that helps a little.
May I ask you some questions? I've recently had 12 days of non stop diarrhoea.. wad put on two different types of antibiotics and had blood test and poo samples.. my results came back and dr called me last Friday. He said I had a positive fit test, and syrum c reactive protein and anemia he started talking about the possibility that I have a cancerous tumor in my bowel I've lost a stone in just over 3 weeks. Are any of those results the same as you had? I'm trying to prepare myself x thanks in advance hun x
Hi my symptoms I had bit blood in my poo then it stopped so I left it then one day I had a bad diarhea but it was blood then went to my doctor and he sent me for the camera then told me on the day I had a tumor and took biopsy then I come said it was cancer then had loads of scans then I got told I had spot on my liver ir that small they could tel me so they put it down as benign so they keep eye on that I started radiotherapy and cemo though tablets then I got told I had anemia im on iron tablets now I have not had Antibiotics or anything I was 17 stone now im down to 14st 11 but it's staying at that now I have not lost anymore im on my last week at radiotherapy next week I had 28 of them I had know side effects from that at all I no some people can im.realy sorry about your diagnosis all I can say to you is stay positive and keep your cin up don't let it get you down and don't let it get to your head that's the worst thing to let that happen someone told me that who had cancer because before he told me that I was. In a right painc and for me when I have the operation I have to have a stoma bag for the rest of my life as my tumor is at the end of my bowel If you need to chat im always here best wishes x
I can't give you a straight answer. Pip isn't about your illnes irs about how your daily life is effected. What dies your illnesses stop or prevents you from doing eg.. can you get dressed? Can you cook is your mobility effected can you walk more that 200m without having to stop or cause you pain.. this is what pip is about hun it's not about your diagnoses.. these are question you will have to answer on a pip form x
Hi I can do all apart from walking to far as I lost of bad wind and most time I need the toilet quick and can cook dress my self so I don't think I will be able to get it then
There is no harm in applying hun. You do have issues with walking also your new diagnosis could help. You could apply for uc also esa. You could speak to cab or a benifits advisor who will know what your intitled to. You should be able to claim something sweet.
