Hi guys
So sent form in for renewal that was fine. Had more evidence. I got a text saying lady needed to speak to me in regards to my application. It was a paper assessment but she just needed me on phone for 10 minutes to clarify which was ok.
She asked about mental health, I mentioned I had counciling etc. I didn't mention that I recently got put on new medication for mental health. The medication list I sent in months ago had my old medicines. Do you think it's worth saying that I am on new medicine to help my mental health as it isn't good.

It would be worth talking about how your mental health currently affects you day to day @edelp70. If this means mentioning the medication, or anything else, then it would be worth it0

Hello @edelp70 and a warm welcome to the community.
Have you heard any more from PIP as to the outcome of your paper-based assessment?

@Adrian_Scope thank you. Nothing yet
They have made contact with gp and my rheumatologist (which is good) but no more word
@L_Volunteer I did end up contacting the assessor again and giving the details of medication. I did put on form specifically mental health affect me so hopefully it works out. Just have to wait0 -
I can hear how this is progressing but you would like to hear more from them @edelp70. Hopefully, more words soon.
How do you feel it went contacting the assessor again and giving the details of the medication? Wishing you the best of luck with this.
Please don't hesitate to let us know if you would like to talk about this further or if there's anything we can do to support you, especially whilst you wait0 -

Hiya
I got a text saying report was done so I request my report and me contacting the assessor was taken into account. They were v nice
The assessor report was very favourable to me and everything was taken into consideration in a good way
So I am very happy. So I am literally just waiting for the decision to me done0
