If they have given you an award for 12 months I would not think that they will ask you to go to an assessment until the end of that time. You might be asked to fill in another form to make sure that your condition has not changed and if it hasn't you might find it is renewed again on paperwork alone like this time. Fingers crossed for you.x

Jobsworths. It is all a tick box exercise designed by people who don't have a clue about disability and living with it daily. Sorry. Doesn't help you but I felt the need to say it. It is just so ridiculous 🐸

you have the right of a home visit for pip.you will probably need a doctors note now since the private companies with the contracts do not like the added cost.best of luck with your assessment.

Sorry, wasn't upset, just getting totally fed up of the mess the system is making for us, it's IDS that really gets my goat, he doesn't have a clue about disabled people in particular and we all seem to be suffering as a consequence!

Not what you're looking for?
