hi @irishlady, I was diagnosed with OA in November 2023, I’ve not been given at date yet to see the specialist, my doctor signed me off last week for a month as my hip is so painful. He couldn’t believe I was still working. I was awarded PIP last month at the standard rate, it’s worth the paperwork and the phone interview, just fill in the paperwork and tell them how bad your OA is. Good luck. ☘️
