    @Agnia Taken from the Citizen's Advice Website, for PIP you need to prove you're habitually resident:
    You’ll need to give evidence to show the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands or Isle of Man is your main home and you plan to stay. This is known as being ‘habitually resident’.
    Check how to prove you’re habitually resident.
    You must also have lived in Great Britain for 2 out of the last 3 years. Great Britain is England, Wales and Scotland. It doesn’t include Northern Ireland.
    Your time spent in Great Britain doesn't need to have been in one go. For example, you could have lived in England for 1 year, the USA for 1 year and Wales for 1 year.
    Therefore, this does sound like a valid and routine part of the process.

    When you say you feel like you have a stone in your throat, do you mean you are having that as an anxiety symptom?

    @Agnia Oh dear, do you have some relaxation techniques you could practice to help calm you down and distract you? What about a nice walk?  :) 

    Is your GP aware you've been experiencing anxiety?

    Is there a particular part of your UC50 form you are struggling with at the moment @Agnia? It sounds positive that your GP knows.
