hi, just an update about my pip home visit, lady from atos was really nice but I didn't let that fool me! I thought she may have asked me to get up and walk about on my crutches but all she asked was for me to stand so she could assess the condition of my leg, she did comment on how horrific it looked!! it wasn't as harrowing as I expected but I did get upset during the 1 hour interview as its just mentally draining being in chronic pain 24 hours a day and being questioned about how my life was turned upside down and how it effects my day to day living..

so now its the dreaded wait for the decision letter she said 4-6 weeks, fingers crossed hey!
