‎ Hi Prettythings. The site below gives a really comprehensive and straightforward rundown on what to expect from start to finish. Unfortunately I've had trouble getting the link to work, but you could either copy & paste the link into Google or simply type it into the search-bar. Good luck m'dear……….. Cat xx

Each case is different but you have to tell them how your problem effects you and you tell them about your worse day need help with cooking washing yourself how long it takes etc.I got standard rate to start with but my wife challenged it and finally somebody who understood neurological problem changed it to higher rate of mobility due to my neurological problem after my tumour removal subsequent infection loss of part of my skull and my titanium plate being fitted make sure you have someone take you and good luck.

It'll be someone that doesn't have a CLUE BIG MASSIVE time! Someone that might not be working to targets UNQUALIFIED PLEB that'll just markyou Down for ANYTHING that they can score AGAINST your AWARD so that they continue getting contracts to ASSESS people's BADLY i.eATOS HEALTHCARE ASSESSORS boooohooo. It will be the CARE component how many points out of 10 you get for being cared for. I've got carer's come in EVERYDAY to help with medications prompts and cook dinner and breakfast for me, it could be even family members, have someone sit in with you on the assessment as a WITNESS! Mobilty component where they're SCORE you out of 10 so if like ME you have a walking stick Make sure that it's SCORED Down as they'll try ANYTHING to get you sacked OFF with no mobility POINTS boooohooo! So Care and mobilty x2 part's LAY it ON, THICK! To get enhanced rate of PIP BIG MASSIVE time it shouldn't be that WAY! GD LUCK!
