As many of you know I went for my first ever pip interview on my own.people told me not to go but I had no choice as I was refused a home visit twice.
I had a terrible time and passed out on several occasions at the centre through the pain and amount of medication that I am on as recently I was diagnosed with a catalogue of problems forcing me to make some serious life changing decisions.
The interview should have been cancelled because of my poor health under PIP regulations but lasted two hours. I only wanted a little help in obtaining some modifications to my home and a badge to help with parking when I get a lift for appointments , someone to help me in getting my daughter to and from school and maybe a little help with preparing food sometimes when I am struggling nothing more.
I have been in some nasty situations during my working life during my twenty five e years of defending my country and my PIP interview was more like an interrogation.
I told the full truth at my PIP assessment and did not exaggerate anything. I did my best but struggled throughout the interview.
After lots of stalling and awaiting letters from the hospital as the cow of a lady did not want any evidence that I had offered I received a letter from DWP awarding me enhanced care and disability, even a certificate for free road tax.
One thing that stands out in my mind was the assessor asking me if I used Facebook which of course I do not. From the line of questions put to me I am certain that they scan social media sites for information.
Thank you to everyone who messaged me here and privately giving me good advice on PIP and encouragement to go for help.
