The lady i saw said oh my god you should have phoned and told me there was no need to come out if you are that ill.
My 30 minute appointment lasted about 5 enough time for the taxi to return and take me back home.
Maybe this was the case for the OP ?
I understand what your saying but hope to god they don’t call me in again because I will crack up lol0 -
Given what you have said?
Almost 100% sure she will recommend Reg 35 and you'll be put into the support group.
I’ve just read Reg 35 and hopefully she does only thing I’m scared for is I went looking perfectly fine not scruffy I just went casual me as my family get me dressed and fix me up there’s no need to go out of character because that would be lying. If they give me 0 points I’ll just give up its way to stressful already and I got many more hospital appointments ahead of me just had my car took of me because someone stole it so that’s a massive impact on my life I just dunno weather I’m coming or going0 -
Thank you for acknowledging that you worded it wrongly tommy, stating that you were bed bound in a previous post allowed a poster to sigh and question why another poster asked how you had reconciled bed bound at the assessment.Causes so much angst on here when someone attacks another poster for a perfectly valid post.
So once again thank you tommy. You are a credit to your youth.
bedbound(Adjective)
unable to leave one's bed for some reason, which is not the same as able to leave bed with help is it.
No I completely understand my mistake lol, but some days I physically can’t get out of bed even if I was scurffed out but I didn’t state that in my claim as I didn’t think it was relevant. I can’t get out of bed BUT with help I can. My nerves are literally hitting the roof0 -

No need to give up tommy, if you need help with a mandatory reconsideration or an appeal should the outcome not be what you feel you deserve there are many many people on here who will help you.0 -

Thank you your all so helpful. I need to get my number changed with them as they have my old contract number witch come to an end. Otherwise they’ll be leaving voicemails and I’ll be waiting for a letter hoping it’s good when in fact it might be something they could of told me on the phone personally don’t understand why she didn’t ask what medication im on at least she just sent me home I could cry in fustration and now in a few months I got the whole PIP process again .. hopefully I should have a Autism diagnoses by then as I’ve been told I have a 90% chance of having it just waiting for the assessment. Even worded it wrong I don’t mean hopefully I do have autism I mean I hope I get the diagnoses they think I’m heading as it puts to bed the 7 years of wondering0 -
When i first claimed ESA about 6/7 years ago, i was sent for a f2f assessment. Like yourself, i shouldn't have needed to go. I sent evidence proving how my conditions affected me. I was in the room 10 minutes and was only asked 2 questions. She left the room and returned a few minutes later and said that's it, i don't need to ask anymore questions you can go now.
3 weeks later the decision came and i was placed into the Support Group.
Fingers crossed for you that you'll be placed here too! Good luck and please do let us know the outcome.0 -

Hi that was really good. Thankfully you got what you deserved. Everyone is saying the accessor LEAVES THE ROOM then returns to say they can go .. mine never I’ll definatly let you all know0 -
Sigh.
Probably with a lot of help from other people, and inconvenience to the OP.
Sigh.
Probably - but thats just pointless speculation because only he knows that.
So I asked him how he reconciled his journey to the assesssor with his statement he was bed bound. Because its relevant to his claim.“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” --Upton Sinclair0 -

and he replied, yet you're still trying to pick a fight with me.0 -
I think its pretty clear it was the other way round.yet you're still trying to pick a fight with me.
I just talk to people in the same language they talk to me.“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” --Upton Sinclair0
