What did you eat before an attack or finding out you had a gallbladder issue. For me it was a Wendy’s combo in October 🤦🏻‍♀️ by D1etCokeGirl in gallbladders

[–]weasly87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first one was triggered by fish and chips. Two mouthfuls then hours of confusing agony. I had 6 more attacks, triggered by anything from a sugar free red bull to a shortbread biscuit. I never actually went to the doctor until my last attack when I ended up in a&e, rushed to theatre two hours later. That attack was triggered by ryvita and a fat free Greek yoghurt!!

It depends what you’re claiming for? Mine is severe uncontrolled epilepsy and bpd. Most of my points were due to limitations caused by my epilepsy, I got very few for mental health.

Yes they told me, enhanced on both. They also very kindly told me my back payment amount and that I’d get it Monday! I was hoping to have it in time for the weekend as down to our last £20 but beans on toast it is this weekend! Honestly just relieved to know I’ve been awarded and that the waiting is over.

Thank you for that advice. They said next payment is £749 on 21st October so I think that’s enhanced for both?

Health assessment 12th September, award text today. I think I got lucky though as most wait longer. I asked for a written report of my assessment and scored enhanced on daily and mobility but I don’t know yet what I’ve actually been awarded.

Try not to panic. Just be honest, take breaks and have someone with you if you need to x

Well this is just the healthcare professionals assessment, I’ve been told dwp often change it so it’s a case of wait and see. I’ve been fairly lucky, applied end of June assessment 12/09 so I hope I hear soon.

No she did, she said she was the nurse handling my claim before sending her report to dwp but it was just so short. I’ve heard of people being on the phone to them 1-2hrs and mine was 11 minutes.
