PIP questions

bigpineapples

I have pip for the last 2years and I am now awaiting a phone review in the next couple of weeks .

Part of the problem for me is awnsering questions and to feel like I am put on the spot so to speak .

From my original claim call I remember how horrendous it was and had to appeal and won but I just want to answer  YES or NO but I was told this isn't really good enough they want you to tell them how you can or can't do something.  I struggle with the whole situation of this .

Any advice?any tips please

You can write some notes before the assessment to help you remember things, some people find it useful to do this. The person that will be with you will also be able to support you during the assessment, if they know how your conditions affect you.

The reason i advised in your other thread not to answer with just a yes or no is because they have been know to twist things or come to their own conclusion. By answering the questions with more than just a yes or no it will hopefully avoid them adding details that are untrue. I didn't actually tell you it wasn't good enough to just give yes or no answers. It's entirely up to you what you do.

I think you should stop being so rude, when i'm only trying to help. I won't be commenting any further on your threads but i wish you good luck with your assessment and hope it goes well for you.

How rude.....people try to help .....and get comments like this....you don't deserve any help with comments like this

🤣🤣🤣🤣 trying to help ? This poppy assumed my thread was about them when it wasn't.  And I'm not really getting any help on here at all just keyboard warriors saying "oh it'll be OK or let me know how you get on. No one is actually helping and tbh if I'm rude then I'm rude seriously

Poppy is only trying to help so you succeed in your claim. The advise given is valid, if you make succinct statements, there can be no ambiguity as to what you are saying.

Considering i was the only person to answer your question on another thread then it was obvious to me that it was me you were referring to. Comment here. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/comment/671451#Comment_671451

No one can tell you what you should answer the questions with, that's entirely up to you. You asked for advice and were given just that.

Poppy love it wasn't about you there is other platforms and forums you know .

Yes and no generally don't cut it....my review form was twice as comprehensive as my original claim ( thanks to advice on here)....i didn't even have an assessment in the end....just a letter saying award ongoing for a further 4 years 2 months .....you don't seem to be struggling to get your point across on this thread....so I'm guessing you will do just fine
