Can you all please pray for me for tomorrow as I am going for my pip assessment at scunthorpe. I am not keen as just now I am in chronic pain all over my body and just struggle to get around and sleep

Good luck! Thinking of you. I have a PIP phone assessment myself on Wednesday so am feeling the same anxiety and stress as you. Sending prayers and positivity!

I went for mine at Hull.scary.cameras from parking car and walking in etc. I got a brilliant assessor who was very kind.handed me tissues when I became emotional.remember to tell it all as your worst day.They repeat questions you have already answered .my assesssor was great and wrote things worse than I could say..think that was back in 2018. You will be fine.treat yourself to lunch when it’s over.good luck

Thank you, I am actually in a bad pain mode this week so I hope that helps and I have both knees strapped up as the osteoarthritis is really bad and last night my legs would not keep still.

Good luck.

I had my pip review on the phone. Thursday 24th October. I was stressed but it was 1 hr 20 minutes in total. The person doing the assessment was absolutely brilliant and put me at ease. She went through it step by step. At the end she asked me if I wanted to add anything else that I may not have put down in the assessment. She said during the assessment, take your time and also said that some of the questions may seem repetitive.

I'm waiting to hear back from them now. Up to 6 weeks.

10/10 I would have given the assessor.

Thanks I think it was similar to yours except I was in front of the man typing on the laptop. I was about 90 min and I had to try to do physical movements but I couldn't do them

Hey was wondering how your PIP assessment went ??? I hope that for a change the pain that you was in at the time of your appointment was a blessing and aided you in getting across your case.🙏🤗

I have a letter from them saying they have received the information so still waiting to hear back. But I am hopeful as I was in a real state that day.Now with this cold weather I can't even get the house warm as it is a coal fire and electric heating. I have had a letter for the cold fuel payment and I have phoned them up. They said I have ticked all the boxes so should get something but not until March next year

So you are getting winter fuel help but not this winter but just as winter ends 🙄 Oh well some smart conclusion from them that make the decisions.Hope you didn't mind me asking , I wasn't actually asking about your outcome I just wanted to know how you got through the assessment (I wasn't going to be that forward) . But as I said maybe this time having the dreaded Fibro would have helped you.

Anyway glad it's over for you and you just await your outcome

Well I did have a bad day when I went for the assessment and I struggled to do alot of the exercises he tried to get me to do. I had both knees strapped up and I had my hands in support as well. So I think I have done OK thanks
