Pip review assessment

[Bue2]

I have just had telephone pip review assessment, it went OK, lasted about 20 mins to half hour. as i didn't have anyone with me ,I asked for it to be recorded . I played it back and realised I missed some things I should have told her. If asked at anytime what makes your condition worse I answer 'over exertion' ,but when asked at the assessment I said about the other things that makes it worse but missed off the main one. I've been on standard rate for both in the last few years but as my condition has worsened in the last couple of years I'm hoping to get enhanced rate pip in the hope it will help me have a better quality of existence, I rarely go out of the house , when I do I don't go alone as I'm scared of falling again (due to feet numbness), I used to enjoy baking but my hand grip is so weak I keep dropping things, can't use my sewing machine anymore. I'm hoping to find access to assisted hobbies.

it’s so easy too too miss something out as a lot too take in but I am hoping it went well when you hear back, such a shame when our hobbies get difficult, I can relate too you, I am always dropping things now 🙁 my large mixing bowl is too heavy too empty the contents so if husbands around I ask for help , gardening is my passion but I a, at the stage I need someone too come in handy in Summer &help (just so expensive now )husband cannot bend for long either and actually hates gardening (I get it not for everyone)I do turn my Conservstory into a greenhouse Feb/March 😜and sit and do some seed trays , getting tomatoes in the Summer is lovely and I grow some annuals for the baskets , is there any clubs or churches that assist people in their homes with hobbies , just a thought , I know a lot of the churches do like too assist in the Community . I do find the winter can keep me and lots people I talk too indoors more as well Roll on Spring I say x
