A question about : Disabled Concessionary Pass

Hi all
I have my form completed and signed by my GP so all ready to go off on Friday and was just wondering how these passes work.
Do different areas have different rules and can I use it anywhere? I know I can't use it until after 9.30am weekdays (I'm never up that early but if I need to be somewhere early OH will run me there in the car so not bothered overly about that)

A question about : Cyclothymia BiP3

Hi,

I have looked for something similar and can't find anything so I will just ask.
Outline: I'm 26, and recently diagnosed with Cyclothymia (Bi-polar III), I'm not looking for work right at this minute as I have only had one appointment with a psychiatrist, but I hope to be at some point.

Long story(not so)short

A question about : When should I be invited to apply for Pip

Please can someone advise me. Dla expires in April 4th 2015 and we live in the area which is transferring to pip. Just wondering when we should be invited to apply for pip? Does anyone know?

Thank you very much. I'm just worried about dla ending and if we don't receive the forms for pip in time then it may just stop as opposed to carrying on whilst waiting for a pip decision.

Regards.

A question about : Anybody heard from Indie Kid?

Hope Indie Kid is ok. Her last activity was in early November, and I'm a bit concerned that she stopped posting so suddenly.

Best answers:

• She's still posting on CAG. I'm not sure why she is no longer posting on here but do wish her well.
• Thanks Tomtontom, at least she seems to be ok.
• I was also getting worried about Indie. Pleased to hear she's ok.

A question about : How can you prove you have pots with cfs/me?

I'm appealing pip for the care element. They gave me a score of 2 for the bathing but I have clearly told them that I can get into the bath by myself but because of chronic fatique after having a bath and the change in my body temperature from the hot water I get very weak and dizzy after taking a bath and need help to get out of the bath which would score me the 3 points that I really needed to get low rate care element.

A question about : Is anybody's esa late?

My esa was supposed to bank on the 29th, and has still not appeared today, always been on the dot till now, anyone else late?

Best answers:

• Rang Glasgow today, apparently someone hit the wrong button on the computer to stop it, should be paid today. If it happens to you ring 0345 608 8545 option 3 to get it sorted.
