Assesment at last

[Wendyld]

After 6 months of waiting I finally have my PIP assesment date.

Now the worry starts as I believe it will not be a good result.

I lost my brother last week & I am feeling very negative at the moment.

Hi Wendyld

Firstly, can I offer you my deepest condolences on your sad loss, I understand what a difficult time this is for you so please take care of yourself.

I also want to wish you all the best of luck with your assessment. Please remember that you should tell them if you cannot do anything that they may request of you. Do not struggle to do something, simply say ''I cannot do that''.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken

I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost an older sister after she survived 6 years of liver cancer. It made me very ssad, but I know that she is with me. She wrote to me a couple months before her death, "I will be with you for ten thousand miles and 100 years." I know that is true and she is my inspriration.

Don't worry too much about your PIP right now. It's like you said, you aren't seeing things as they are right now. Grief clouds our minds and it is best to let it be there. It's part of the recovery.

I have my hearing in two days. If you think you are deserving and you have done all you possibly can to make your case, you have more than a good chance. Just stick to your guns, be assertive, and don't let anyone trip you up. I wish you the best with this. I still have my anxiety and I do know what it is to be optimistic one minute and doubting the next. Don't let it get you down. And that's advice I'm giving to myself too!

Hi there! I waited for 1 year and 3 months for my assessment and I had my face to face yesterday... I was extremely emotional and very lucky to have my Sister with me! My advice is to tell them *EVERYTHING* no matter how small!!! They will benefit from hearing your "worse day scenario" rather than a "good day" to get the full picture of how your illness/disability affects you! I won't say " don't worry" because it's not going to happen.. But I do wish you the best of luck with the outcome! My prayers are also with you at this difficult time.... Much love....ninja....xxxx
