Lol! The assessor was very polite, and friendly. However, when I got my assessors report he recommended 0 points. Maybe the decision maker will see otherwise ..but i doubt it!
The most difficult task for me is to admit to myself my condition and explain to others. Years later even my wife does not have a clue what I am going through day in and day out. Thank you for encouragement.
Just did the free PIP test on the link you provided. (That's the only thing that's free there.) I scored myself '0' points because none of the choices were ones I could tick. They are so limited and do not even begin to cover what living my life is like. Hence I've scored myself zero in all of them and I fully expect the callous system to do the same. They are excluding so many ill people through such rigid and narrow questioning. It feels so discriminatory already and I haven't even had my assessment yet. I have no faith at all already. I feel bitter, angry and like people like me (which there can't be many of I'm guessing) just don't count at all and have no value in the eyes of the DWP PIP system.
@@katejones2172 This was a while back and I don't clearly remember what happened or how I got hold of the link. It may be worth your while to try to contact her directly to ask. All the best.
Glad you had a pleasant experience as the majority do not. After 9 months of appeals and going to court I finally got awarded my claim for 5 years, the process needs to be changed I mean they ask for gp details but never check anything with them it could save a whole lot more time and money and less of a daunting process
Laura, great to see you giving helpful advice and support to others.. You are looking so well and healthy.. I would like to chat with you for some advice.. ❤️
I am nervous about phone assesment thursday,never add any dealings with any of these agencies,but just diagnosed with cancer and i am seeking some support but all this is new to me and i am hearing horror stories... 1
Thank you for this. I think many people are so fearful (including me) because the assessors are known to lie on the forms and perhaps have a directive to recommend as many people as possible not to get the benefit. This is because government want people in work and hence they are known to make life very difficult for the disabled or people with health conditions. It's known as a very callous system. So, people are feeling scared because of this and paranoia perhaps sets in as the ill are being treated as suspicious and not to be trusted. This is not the case for everyone but I've watched numerous videos and read numerous comments and this is the general impression I have been left with as a result. I have my assessment on Thursday and I feel sick and light headed at the prospect.
Hi how did your assesment go with pip please Could you give me any advice tips etc and what questions they ask I am feeling so much anxiety over this Thankyou
@@joanneroundhill1796 Hi. I was initially refused PIP. You can call and register a mandatory reconsideration on the phone, which is what I did. (Years before I didn't dare go for a mandatory reconsideration for Universal Credit as I was so intimidated by them, so it put me into masses of debt for the first time in my life.) So this time I swore I'd go all the way, after all the damage it did me not going for a reconsideration before. My initial appointment for PIP was a phone call and it was agony. It lasted three hrs!! I was so exhausted. When I registered my mandatory reconsideration (or whatever they call it for PIP) this time it was easy, and I received a call out of the blue a few weeks later (I don't remember how many) without being warned in advance. It took me completely by surprise. It was a lovely empathetic lady on the end of the phone and the call was no longer than 20 mins this time. I told her I had no clue what I would do, that I desperately needed help. I was just honest. I can't remember exactly if she told me at the end of the phone call or if I had to wait for a letter (which didn't take too long to be posted) but I got the PIP award. I was so relieved and grateful. Don't hold back at all from being yourself. Be perfectly honest about what is going on for you. Tell them everything you need to tell them. If you don't get it, (and I understand it's the majority of people who don't get it when they first apply), go for the reconsideration asap and go as far as you need to if you aren't awarded it. All the very best.
2021 December I ended up in emergency hospital and after weeks I sent in hospital reports for review of my DWP P.I.P for extra help with living and mobility and more reports in year 2022 and the final This decision is taking longer than most disabled people.
I asked for the original documents that I had sent to the pip from the hospital and from my Doctors surgery and asked for the copy's and asked for P.I.P assessment to be recorded and just waiting for completion from P.I.P managers Assessment. I did ask for I need extra support and help living and mobility and rehousing that's fit for a disabled person who is attacked by police making false alleged claims linked to criminal far right group's factory of Fascism who have abused my human rights and civil rights civilians Disability rights by assaulting and threats in my previous home and stolen my car many other items

Hi, great advice. My assessment is tomorrow and I’m wondering what your thoughts are asking the assessor what their background is regarding their job (incase you have to take it to a tribunal). I’d want to know but also I’d feel asking would offend them.
Hi, I don't think there is anything wrong with maybe asking them if they are familiar with your condition? That way you can get a better idea of whether they have an understanding of what you experience on a daily basis? Good luck I hope it goes well for you.
@@lauraironstalksms Thank you! I didn’t end up asking but they seemed really knowledgeable. I did ask over one condition ‘do you understand it’ they said yes and knew a lot about medications. They seemed to prompt me for more and even repeated one of my previous answers and asked if it was the same for another condition. I have poor working memory so I felt like she was trying to help me. I did get prior consent to record also. I’m still expecting a 0 as you just never know.
@@lauraironstalksms Thank you and appreciated that I am not alone talking to myself self on many of these RUclips video channels you video channels giving advice on assessment of the assessment of dwp pip
Well the dwp pip should send the originals send the original back to the person after the yesterday the assessment has completed So that they can check what was assessed Buy a professional professor a doctor What evidence of reports from the hospitals and the doctors the doctor's patience issue surgery
i agree with you but when you have NFD and CFS brain problems how am i supposed to do everything you say. can't remember what i had for tea. then i scored first round and review all zeros it's stacked against me.
This video is here to provide you with some information and advice on how to prepare for your PIP Assessment as it can be quite a daunting process.

Get some support from citizens advice
Do you have example of pip form the latest version when you phone dwp pip. What the questions are like
Sorry no I don't. They basically go through what you've already filled in on your application form
What a rude dog lol. That would get you 0 points lol
