It is not really the money I need but the extra support that would come available to me if I manage to claim it

Oh Jay <<<<hugs>>>> I hate seeing people having to go through the all the stress of claiming PIP.
Never, ever, ever give them a good day scenario.
Like Hugh's wife I too was once a decision maker, well before PIP, and with certain benefits I just knew some people were downplaying their condition but had to make a judgement on what I had before me and on many occaisions I underlined the option to appeal in pencil in the letter that I had to send out.
One of the main reasons I transfered over to being a DM on serious fraud cases.
