Good morning everyone,
I’m just posting this for anybody out there still going through the pip process, as I have suffered so much anxiety about it and I have found it incredibly hard to get through.
So thought hopefully it may help someone else, my experience of applying for pip was so different to anything I had previously experienced.
I never submitted a form in the end as they said after I had the assessment it would not be needed.
My assessment was nothing like I expected although it was a big 3.5 hours long 😞
The lady was actually lovely & so understanding so please try not to worry if your about to have yours it’s honestly not that bad.
A few weeks later & I received a text message to say I have been awarded pip 😊
Wasn’t aware they do this so if you get a text then it is genuinely from pip.
I have called up and after a 2hour Wait I found out I have been awarded enhanced on both mob & care 😊🎉
Im still in shock but just wanted to say to those struggling to get through it that it honestly hasn’t been as bad as I feared so please try not to worry. And be aware that pip are trying to change up how they do things to speed it up I think and so the process may be a little different to what you expect but just hold on tight, stay the course and there will be a light at the end of the tunnel for you too.
Good luck to everyone and thank you for answering all the questions I had and the support I received x x x
