Welcome to Myelin and Me 👋

I’m Mike, and this channel is about two things I know very well: living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and navigating Personal Independence Payment (PIP).

♿ MS: I share the reality of living with MS — mobility, wheelchairs, independence, adapting to disability, the good days, the rubbish days and everything I learn along the way.

📋 PIP: Straightforward, practical videos covering PIP applications, reviews, assessments, descriptors, points, Daily Living, Mobility, Mandatory Reconsiderations and common mistakes.

My goal is simple: make PIP easier to understand while honestly documenting life with MS.

I’ve just uploaded a video about PIP assessment reports. Did you phone for yours before it dropped through your letterbox?
