Quick PIP Question

Ah, at least she bothered to discuss your problems with you before sending the form, I have other health conditions that I haven't spoken to GPs about because I don't trust them, well I say that, I've now moved to a different medical centre and the staff there appear to be more mindful, attentive and understanding.

I hope you aren't waiting too much longer and I hope that you get a good result.

Thanks Amathyst. Just received a text message with telephone assessment appointment for September 10th 😞

Sorry to hear that, I hope you get a decent assessor.

Thanks so much, fingers crossed 🤞 

Last assessment was during lockdown and they took away my mobility as I went alone in taxi for Covid jab 😡
Government told us not to meet people.

Hmmm a shame... because that in itself should not rule out relevant disablement... they should be looking at the majority of the time (and the fact you were having to comply with law in the example is important I would say)... many claimants travel to assessment but cannot reliably do that and score highly in mobility 1 activity... they should be enquiring if you could you reliably perform the task. Anyway a tribunal will be far keener to apply sense... and the rules. If such activity is asked about then explain the difficulties faced and how they play out for the majority of attempted such journeys... that's if they can even reliably begin as for many claimants of course they don't.

Had my assessment. I was thinking that she was a nice young lady but you can't trust that as the one who I had last time seemed nice but I lost my mobility.

Anyway, assessment was 1 and half hours. I was exhausted 😞 

Received award letter and couldn't believe the result. Got the same  standard daily as I had before and got my mobility back 😀
