I hi have my first pip consultation on the telephone on Friday. I don’t have a copy of my completed form. My fnd is in overdrive now and my speech is badly affected so can my husband talk on my behalf? What will I be asked?
Many thanks just very anxious

No way of knowing exactly what you will be asked, it will depend on the assessor and whether they are already clear about some things and what they most want to discuss. They will expect to hear from you rather than your husband, if it is clear that you are unable to communicate the assessor may allow your husband to speak. Certainly sensible to have your husband there, it would be sensible to tell the assessor that he is there.
Have a glass of water to hand in case you need it. If you are using a mobile make sure it is fully charged.0 -

Hi @racket
My partner just had a 2 hour telephone assessment last Friday!
They went over each question in detail. They also wanted detailed examples about his difficulties.They wanted my partner to speak but was happy when his support worker elaborated and help explain what questions meant or if he was struggling to communicate his thoughts.Hope this helps!!0
