[QUOTE="emmaw_13, post: 414978, member: 36299"] Hi I've had diabetes for 13yrs now un controlled for 8 (I blame myself) then 6 years ago I was diagnosed with neuropathy in my feet. Then may his year I discovered I have Charcot in both feet (I'm only 26 and I know this is rare) I've had to give up work as I'm a dog walker and currently claiming ESA I was also told I could claim PIA in which I have I started claiming pretty much straight away I've now been in casts and non weigh bearing for 4 months now it took me 2 months just to get a wheelchair but I still haven't had a single penny from PIA I've got a meeting next week where there coming out to meet me and I've been told it can take upto 15 weeks to be all sorted. My Charcot is temporary and will eventually heal but have been told it may come back but surely there is an easy way to claim specially with it being temporary I can't wait to go back to work an I know I've still got a lot of way to go till I can walk again. But I can't even get a blue badge so going out with friends is incredibly difficult sometimes going out is really good for my confidence but its an absolute nightmare sorry for sounding a sad out just wondered if anyone else has had the same problem?
