Yes: it’s officially official …
I’ve finished filling in the online form.
I’m on benefits, so you know.
And frankly?
Managing money as well as I can.
Every saving counts: and every little helps.
But … ?
Every little helps.
Or extra help, helps, I should say.
So?
I’ve applied for what’s called Personal Independence Payments, or PIP: that provides extra help if you have certain conditions.
The ‘Submit’ button got pressed, yesterday.
Hopefully … ?
That’ll come up with something …

As an extra thought … ?
I had this piece from NottinghamshireLive float across my phone’s time line, a couple of days before hitting the button.
A piece that informs its reader of a list of conditions that should make you eligible for PIP.
The list includes the phrase ‘endocrine diseases’: things like underachieve thyroid glands, and type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
I’ve got an underactive thyroid: and type two diabetes.
Those facts — and the piece — were something I felt I had to mention in the form.
Whether that does any thing?
Is a whole other matter.
