Yes, that's me. It took my friend 3 years to get PIP and he's more unwell than me. My dwindling savings are just above the UC threshold; my life savings almost gone after 3yrs unwell, only a tiny pension to cash in next. Have to sell the house.

@microburin It’s unjust, unfair and I’m so sorry it’s like this for you & your friend. I’m sure you have checked everything out but if ever needed find trusted welfare rights advisors : @advicelocal We need action on #LongCovidCosts & financial support for all @CommonsWorkPen @long_covid
@JCeoltaSmith @advicelocal @CommonsWorkPen @long_covid He had to go to tribunal x2 and is still fighting for full allowance. I simply don't feel well enough for forms etc. Citizen's advice never answer here in central London. I'm housebound and bedbound 4th anniversary yesterday. No income since 2020 and Govt SEISS=£1400 for 2 yrs!
@microburin @advicelocal @CommonsWorkPen @long_covid I understand how tough it is to fill out #PIP forms If someone rings to start the process they can get extensions and any award is back dated from date of call. I wish @long_covid could be funded to support with claims . I wrote a #PIP guide with support from @gmlawcentre
@microburin @advicelocal @CommonsWorkPen @long_covid @gmlawcentre I’ll try and find the link this week of the guide as it was on a website that isn’t available as such now and @MEAssociation have a free guide that’s good
@microburin @advicelocal @CommonsWorkPen @long_covid @GmLawcentre @MEAssociation Not sure if this link works to #PIP guide I wrote for people with #LongCovid with support from @GmLaw and peer reviewed by another #OT Laura Maloney and designed by #OT student then Hannah. Award rates may have increased now …cupationaltherapy.files.wordpress.com/2022/06/long-c…
