Hi I really feel for you especially when you bring up your children.I have a lot I want to say but I will try and keep it brief I was diagnosed with severe adult adhd ICD10 F9.0 all the substance imbalance daily issues god the list is endless as I was getting so depressed about the way I felt so inhuman when I have the most precious twins anyone could ask for they are 23 yr now but in brief after my doc sent me to my now fourth therapist when I was armed with my high online adhd score only then it was officially diagnosed as the code in itself can be enough in the uk law to try and get pip.Wellafter many months of research and is it worth it it was as yesterday I scored 16 points as the criteria is very hard to pass and get if your doc won’t help luckily I have a good one but it’s critical to do your own research I am very proud and dam relieved to now finally lead a better life.All along I said I deserve recognition respect support etc as I’m done with being called names so now hopefully my twins will not be condemned by my issues but I have to say I really really deserve this award as I was only existing not living so there is hope guys but it’s not easy hope this helps

God I’m sure many of us has definitely either had one or feel they will have one.I really want to try help those because I have proved that you can obtain pip in your own right in the uk.I am 51 years old and was diagnosed a year ago as I felt this is wrong I have an amazing family brilliant friends and twins why can’t I just be normal ?! I guess I felt that bad is when I self diagnosed my issues abuse of substances daily battles debt destruction while still trying to smile as I love my twins so much I was hiding my issues for years but I have since experienced that when they get older it’s gets worse for the mum and suffering as obviously this adult adhd is not understood.So my only choices were do the test take it to my very supportive doc where he fast tracked a physiatrist for me who then did the official test with a severe score of 9/9 in both mental and other impairments.Then I stared to research my rights etc to try and obtain support in many areas I was looking at another court case last week but hopefully I have been saved as my letter today has saved our lives as I can start to clear my mind look after myself as I’m at deaths door at mo but I’m lucky enough to be staying with a great friend for two months to sort out all the previous carnage this illness has had impacts on.I am hoping to you all that I’m one of probably a very few that has finally been awarded and recognition but it took many months of research law in the uk especially being diagnosed at 50 yrs old ! There is hope but it’s fair to say that I do deserve it in my own silent suffering and I hope to be a voice to those who can’t push it this far but let this be an inspiration that’s its possible but yea unfortunately there’s no guarantee but my work paid off and I want to try and feel happy I deserve it and my beautiful twins.

Hi I would like to add that I was and still are the same when you say certain stimulants can help and they do at the time in my experience but it can’t go on I have to go and stay with a friend where my have been twice before where I know I will not need any stimulants it’s only when I get home I start to use again and although I hate it I feel ashamed because although I know I can live without it iv been away many times and I always come back to my lovely home with amazing twins who are adults I have to go away for at least two months as my brain is still mouldy from my diagnosis at 50 yrs old issues the list is endless so after my hard graft to obtain pip it will make my life easier but sorry the point is that in the adhd issues it always mentions self medicating drug abuse etc so I can only hope when I leave in the nx week I will be a happier healthier person my life is on the line mentally physically exhausted but at least my hard work paid off.
