Fantastic news about the PIP Beanie! 😊😊😊 Most vexing that they won't backdate it though 🙄 So glad all that effort ended up being worth it, and that you don't have to go through it again for 10 years xx5

Thanks @Cheery_Daff, @jwil & @savingholmes.
Thank you @savingholmes for all your help in the background.

Anyway it is done.
