Hi im new to this was diagnosed 5 weeks ago after being taken to hospital with suspected stroke after having ct scan n mri scan was told hadn’t had stroke but indeed got Ms …didn’t know what it was and made mistake of looking it up on Google warning to anyone who has been diagnosed with Ms dont look it up on Google its things from nightmares . I have had to stop working as im a lorry driver so been in touch with universal credit and pip because I picked up 500 at start of September i was entitled to 11 pound in October and have had my hour call this morning from pip and was told can take up to 8 weeks for it to be assessed is there anything help or advice as to what i can get financially as ive had nothing for 2 months now and by the sounds of things could be another 8 weeks before I can get help

PIP timescale is usually less than 2 weeks in spite of what they quote as standard.
