Good luck Mrs_Ryan. As a above, they don't care what your house looks like.

Mrs_Ryan

Thank you Indie kid and serendipity I won't be making tea as I try to avoid using the kettle- I'm sure OH will offer before he heads off to work though. I have a crutch that I use to walk with and it's always near me although I am going to try and avoid getting off the sofa if I can as I struggle. I will sit down later with your previous posts serendipity and try to write out a typical day- that was massively helpful thank you!! Will let you all know how it goes. Thanks again all Xx

Do you have a copy of your PIP form to hand? It might also be worth talking to your OH. I don't know about anyone else; but there are certain things that I don't feel I struggle with until it's actually pointed out to me.

Assessment is tomorrow
One of my conditions is anxiety and I'm already getting worried
We've done the best we can to make the place look decent between OH and I but he has mental health problems as well so I'm just worried they will judge As I've mentioned before OH has to go to work partway through the assessment so I just hope I can manage to get our what I need to say as I'm not good with people I don't know

I apologise if I have the wrong poster but are you not due to give birth shortly?

If you are I cant see an objective report being done because you must have the care/mobility needs for at least a further 9 months and pregnancy exasperates musculo skeletal problems (you mentioned a crutch)

Mrs_Ryan

I would worry if I was about to give birth- I had a total hysterectomy for cancer 24 months ago!!!
You have got the wrong poster but it's ok,don't worry.

lauriee

Well I rung Capita again yesterday to see if my report etc has been sent to DWP, was informed it is still with Capita, original application October 2013, home assessment done on 7th February 2014,what I was told 2 weeks ago is there is a 30 odd page report that was waiting to go to the second department in Capita for checking before being sent to DWP,yesterday they told me cases such as mine which he described as complex have to be done thoroughly its not a case of just ticking boxes and sending it over,because of the problems I have it makes it complex, so just sit and wait again I suppose

aww that's a shame I was hoping you might have had your news by now,same here now phoning twice a day at about 1.30 and 5.55pm theyre telling me the same thing. they also keep saying it will be backdated which is really frustrating as its not even about the money really its about the distress, worry and anxiety which cant be undone. maybe they should be doing the same as the esa by confirming that you qualify and give you a low rate till they decide which tier of payments you qualify for. good luck anyway x

I am getting really frustrated now. called at 3pm to be told no again. They said it has been worked on the last couple of days ( which makes it worse. They have until 5pm tomorrow to do a call back which was asked for last week. Good luck to you too x
