Appointment cancelled, haven’t slept properly all night. It was due at 9:00am today. I’ve just had a call at 9:25am to say that the assessor has taken ill, they’ve tried to get cover but have been unsuccessful. I have a new appointment for the 24th February. More stress and a few sleepless nights leading up to it... again! Anyone experienced this? I was fully understanding to the call operative as we are in difficult times but I made my application back in July/August( it’s been that long I can’t remember myself!).
Just had my PIP assessment appointment cancelled. - NRAS
Just had my PIP assessment appointment cancelled.
Poor you, pip assessments are I feel an awful way of seeing what help people need. Maybe the assessor was concerned they had covid symptoms and it's just as well they called off if you are looking for a maybe positive. I hope you now get some rest and they dont keep you hanging on too long , hugs xx
Ahh I am sorry they have. Mine was cancelled... though without telling me ... I sat around for 2 hours and thought... I’ll call and ask what’s going on. The upside is that they backdate any award to when you applied. 😊
Ahh so pleased that it worked out for you xx
I'm so sorry to hear this and hope that you can rest today and gather your energy. I hope all will go well for the 24th, in the meantime take care and sending some supportive wishes xx
At least they had the courtesy to ring you.My phone appointments from hospital now come with a 3 hour window.
It’s a lot of hanging about.
Take care
Thank you fingers crossed that it goes ahead on that date🤞🏼 Take care of yourself too xx
Aw that’s not good is it. I have been lucky and my assessor did call on the day. To be honest I was like you and was up all night worrying. I needn’t have worried though as she was really nice. Doesn’t mean I’ll be successful but after the call I asked myself why I wasted a nights sleep worrying. Good luck Hun and I hope it goes well for you and me 👍👍🤗
UPDATE: So I had my appointment today and despite being quite anxious it went well. Not saying that I’ll qualify for anything though! I was asked if I minded a trainee listening in which of course I didn’t. The call lasted for about an hour and a half and we went through the whole form. I was then able to give additional and updated information at the end. MonsieurPetitPois said afterwards, hearing me talk about my worst days to someone else really brought it home to him how even he doesn’t always appreciate my daily struggles. They said that it could take up to 8 weeks to get a response but it could be sooner 🙏🏼🤞🏼
