Pip

Hello everyone there! I filled in my pip form and out of the blue got a phone call telling me they have a cancellation so would I go in on Thursday...I'm really nervous!! The problem is at the moment my arthritis isn't too bad so I just know I won't get it.my epilepsy affects my life but they seem to concentrate only on Aches and pains n not mentally affected problems!I'm dreading it....anybody understand?😔

This is a really good website with lots of advice regarding pip interviews....

benefitsandwork.co.uk

It helped me enormously....

When you answer questions answer them in relation to when you are bad, your worst day not how you are now because as we all know this can change.

I've been told that by family members but not really taking that advice thinking they don't understand! But thanks for that Advice 👍🏽

...although it is short notice it would be helpful if you had someone to accompany/assit you to/at the appointment...they would help you with sitting and standing up...a supportive arm to lean on...open doors for you etc...also...if you become overwhelmed...which often happens after travelling beyond what you would normally; which probably will be an uncomfortable/painful journey...they can help to answer any questions on your behalf ...especially if you become distressed...if you cannot attend because you have no one available to attend with you...perhaps you can see if you can get your appointment changed to a better time when someone can travel with/assit you...may you be successful in gaining support for your needs...1LVP...
