1st October, 2024: Palau.
Right: it’s official.
I’m up early, for the second day in a row.
It’s been a busy week!
The reason for today’s early start … ?
Is simply that I have an appointment at my optician: to pick up new spectacles.
Then need to get back for a surveyor’s visit.
Heigh-ho!

Just to confirm things?
You’re probably aware that I had to attend a tribunal, last Thursday: to determine if I qualified for Personal Independence Payments, or PIP.
It looked like I did: going by the documents on the website.
However, I was waiting for confirmation by post.
That?
Turned up, yesterday.
I will be getting what’s called the standard Daily Living allowance.
Back-dated to April of 2023: when I put in the original application.
All I need to do now … ?
Is wait for payment.
With the Cost Of Living payments* having ended?
And fuel payments rising from today?
Given that, those payments couldn’t come at a better time.
