Hi max now you have POTS maybe you should reapply for PIP as I know u said you came close to getting it a while back! Your in the deafblind spectrum & when I applied I was legally deaf & for the last 3 MTHS I have been legally blind too! I was on DLA for life but then the government decided to move people to PIP! But they decided to review my medical history and make me attend an assessment! I won't go in to that again! But if they had kept me on DLA the highest amount they would have saved money! Instead it costs them around £600 a month! I have had people say you don't look disabled! At the time all they could see were hearing aids & leg brace,but I have had neck braces,now a red/white cane, diabetes,am on blood thinning pills incase I get another blood clot! Heart pills after a stent put in! A lot of those are invisible & the money helps with my every day needs! After seeing your latest video(listening) 17th April I need those cards! And a lanyard! Your now thinking of using a white cane so there is no way you should get turned down for PIP again with decent medical evidence! And the money would help get you more things to help you in your daily life! Stay safe max 💟
So glad you have your diagnosis now. Effective GP makes all the difference. My MS was at first dismissed as psychosomatic.
Ooft, I’m sorry to hear that, but sadly it doesn’t surprise me :(
