Great. It's always the way - you work yourself up into a panic and it all goes well. Hopefully you'll soon get a good result and an award. 🤞

I used to know someone who was forever saying my lovely, she was from Kilkenny in Ireland.

Great news it went well, fingers crossed and you will get a good result. 🤞 As SpiritoftheFloyd said we get ourselves all worked up and it’s not as bad as we imagine.

Best wishes Pauline

Its such a stressful process,. My daughter has both ESA and PIP and honestly you need a Phd in form filling to keep on top of it.

I'm glad you had a good experience and did not have to attend one of those dreadful assessment centres...fingers crossed for a good result.

Hi that sounds really positive, I will cross my fingers it goes well, I didn't think the girl that came to my house was a nurse but she was very good and I was awarded the highest rate, which has made such a difference, especially when I couldn't drive and had to pay taxis, let me know how it goes, char

Hope all go's well for you. This made me think, I sent an appeal form off as I was only awarded low rate mobility & not daily living that was over 3 months ago & heard nothing back yet. Should I contact them about it or assume covid is delaying things?

hi. she said i would hear back in 6/8 weeks. don’t know if appeal is different. good luck ❤️

I'm afraid I'm extremely cynical regarding PIP assessments. I had a face to face when changing from disability allowance to Pip. The lady was very nice and kept saying "OH I can see you can't do that etc. Yes i did get the rates I was entitled to but only literally by one point. Her attitude was to try to lull me into a false sense of security and attempt to do things I really couldn't do without extreme pain. I don't trust 'em! I hope you get a suitable award but ifnot, do not hesitate to appeal.

well that was the scenario i was expecting but was just relieved it wasn’t stressful. whether i was being gullible or not time will tell. i’m always gullible🤞

I tried to get pip after my heart attack four yrs ago but was refused any help even though I had to give up work completely due to anxiety and stress after heart attack they made it sound to me I had to have help with everything ie washing dressing walking up the road getting meals etc but I can do all them things, so was refused I’m pleased to hear some people manage to get it
