he'll just use a new user name and be back.
just like he always does
A few years ago, somebody listed all the known names he'd used, over the years. I think andyandflo was the first, with the next being his son, or daughter, who'd found him slumped over his laptop.
I used to find the tales of untold wealth, via his benefits, and his wife's purchase of Mulberry handbags, amusing, but sadly so many people believed the "advice" he gave, that it was worrying.

Does any one the q and a the assessor will ask.
I.e do you have hobbies
I heard if u say I go to the gym. This means it fit and able to walk interact and get to unfamiliar places
If you say I stay home read watch tv it means u can concentrate. Choose understand info.
Can any one tell me answers they said and if how they were perceived. Please help.0 -
Use your common sense.
Use Google to research the descriptors and the assessment process.
People who can't be bothered to do a few hours homework on the internet and be prepared for what to expect will usually score zero points.
So don't rely on this forum - Search for the net for PIP assessment hints.
Common sense would tell you that saying that you go to the gym and have hobbies would hardly qualify you for PIP, in my opinion.0 -

Maybe they have a mental health problem that is helped by going to the gym and having hobbies.
Really OP, all you can do is tell the truth.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
The worst advice i have heard on here is to just be honest and open. These assessments simply are not as straightforward as that!
Learn about the discriptors - learn about the type of questions they will ask you based on the discriptors. Make sure your answers match your answers in the PIP2 form. And remember they will try and disarm you and catch you off guard will polite conversation. Try avoiding chit chat and stick to the questions and don't add lib. They will be recording everything you say and watching everything you do. They ate not there as yoyr friend or aar to listen to but to assess you. So resesrch PIP assessments on Google and read the horror stories then research how people have been successful.... And move forward that way.
I spent many days trying to understand the process.0 -

No they don't record everything you say, there's no secret camera in the room with you. :rotfl:0 -

Read my reply correctly - I said being The worst advice i have heard on here is to just be honest and open. These assessments simply are not as straightforward as that! I suggested that that there is more advice to be had than just to be honest and open! Of course be honest but learn how the assessments are conducted and what questions will be asked based on the descriptors in your PIP2 form! You must always be truthful!0
