    I mentioned PIP in the initial phone call because, i can't remember now, it came up somehow, i think they were asking if i work and what benefits i'm on etc. The lady said "you can use our letter for them" but to be fair to her she's just saying it and wasn't the counsellor.

    It also came up with the counsellor in the first therapy session but she didn't say anything on it.

    Now that you bring it up, i'll ask her at the next session.
    You have completely misread the post from @Spoonie_Turtle.
    I know what was said, that i should get therapy for being obsessed with my PIP claim ....
    Much more than that. There are clearly deep seated issues exposed for which PIP is just the backdrop. Your PIP journey... it is showing how you interact and relate to others... personality traits and behaviours that are very distinctive and predictable. In a sense these 48 pages have little to nothing to do with PIP... they're about your personality.. even the amended title of the thread is highly revealing. So yes I too would advise exploring these things as honestly as you can (this may prove difficult but a good HCP should adapt) with therapist and/or further mental health specialists.
