Good luck this morning @Superbetty Keeping everything crossed for you! 🤞

Thank you @Hannah_Scope, it went really well in a way I said exactly what I wnated to say. I was preparing yesterday, wrote everything I want to say, and I said it:-)There were few questions like how many seconds it took you from taxi to the reception. By the way I came to reception, didn't know the builiding, and was thinking- hopefully the room will be this one opposite, so I don't have to walk far. Ha ha, I had to walk to the lift, and then from lift to the room! I understand they want to watch you walking, but I thought gosh, you couldn't choose room any further!But overall, I am very happy, I am not hopeful to get award, but I know what I said and I think if I will go to Tribunal, I might win. You never know, I might be surprised obviously with award after assesement, but I am not holding my breath:-)Will keep you posted:-)My only advice to anyone who is going to assesement, just be prepared with your notes, just know what you want to say. I did read a lot before, that was very helpful.

I will keep everything crossed you won't have to go to Tribunal 🤞 I'm so glad that you had your say. From what I have read on the community, from so many, it's truly one of the parts of the process where you can have your voice.

Oh gosh! I don't understand why they make you / watch you walk. It seems an unreliable? for lack of a better word, thing to me. I have friends with mobility issues and we've had days where we've walked around town, done some window shopping, got lunch and all been "well". Then they don't leave their bed for the next two days! I can see so many resting up before going for an assessment to be as well and coherent for it that it is then a "well" day for them.

Thank you @Hannah_Scope:-)I found it a bit mean and unnecessary, yes. I will keep you updated, take care:-)

Hi everyone, I am so excited, I need to share the news:-)I had assesement last Tuesday, so it took them only week to make a decision, I just got text that I have been awarded PIP! So yes, nice begining of the day:-) Have a lovely day everyone!

Hannah_Alumni

Woohoo! That's great news @Superbetty I'm so pleased for you. Did you treat yourself to something to celebrate? I always suggest going with a piece of cake!

Superbetty

Ha ha, @Hannah_Scope, didn't think about it, but, I promised myself I will get myself nice perfume once I get money:-)I don't need a lot in my life, but I do like to smell nice:-)So yes, that will be a treat:-) Thank you for your reply, I am still in very happy mood:-)
