On a Sunday? Cannot offer advice re pip although just had my esa assessment. If you go on benefits and work website they have tons of info to help with forms, assessments what to say, what you are likely to be asked. Remember to tell them about your bad days, your limitations, pain, mess etc. but pl do check out website, it's helped so many people and let us know how you get on. Personally I'd be interested to know as I'm due to have a home pip assessment but not date yet.

Hugs

Hello Goldenone.

Here are some things that worked for me.

Make sure that you describe your symptoms on the worst day.

Take a partner / family member / friend for moral support.

Do not be modest and say you can cope.

Take your time answering the questions.

Take copies of new medical evidence with you. They have to take it and pass it on to the decision maker.

Request a copy of the medical assessment form afterwards from the DWP so that you can see what they have written.

Do not be afraid of asking for a Mandatory Reconsideration if you are not happy with the award.

Good luck.

Best regards,

Dave
