fearfull of pip

[Spedyrecovry50]

hi everyone. I have anxiety disorder and major panic attacks as well as heart issues and fibromyalgia. I find it hard to talk to people on the phone let alone in person. having pip would make a huge difference and really help me financially. but I went through the process when it was dla and failed to get it. I dont know how I would be able to have any assessments without having a major panic attack. when I was put on esa I was meant to have an atos interview. the stress it caused ended in me having a heart attack and going to hospital.because of these things just thinking about it causes me problems but the help it would give makes me think could it be worth it.

my question is, is there a way to get pip without talking to anyone?

I know it sounds strange but I don't want to end up in hospital.

any suggestions would be very helpful.

thanks.

ask whether you can have someone with you like nurse or carer

Hi, maybe check out Support Visits If You Need Help To Claim Benefits on GOV.UK.

thanks for the replies. I have decided because of the extra stress that it has caused and I havent even filled in the form yet. that I am not going to go after pip. the last time I felt this stressed out I ended up having a heart attack so I think I will leave it for now.
