Thanks everyone.
I am plodding on.
Fallen twice today.
Once indoors & once outdoors.
Had to crawl to the car to be able to lean on it to be able to get up.
I did have two sticks but sadly to no avail

Sorry you are struggling Beanielou.You mentioned it is still a while til your pip comes through, does your local council offer emergency payments (also look for household support fund)? They all differ but benefit delay is absolutely something the council I work for pays out on.MFW 2021 #76 £5,145
MFW 2022 #27 £5,300
MFW 2023 #27 £2,000

My word, beanie, it's been a rough weekend for you. And yes, I hope you're not too sore from the falls. And I hope you're getting somewhere where you know how to go forward - maybe the Pip will help with associated financial costs.2023: the year I get to buy a car6
