    Hi @Amyhannant21, I'm really glad your assessment went well and your assessor was understanding. It can be a really tough thing to do, so well done for getting through it!

    It's really difficult to tell whether it would be a good sign or not, but fingers crossed it's a positive result for you and you get what you need.

    I hope it's not too long before you hear back. Keep us updated :)

    I am so glad it went well for you.  It's such a stressful process, and having the assessment done by someone who is actually a nice person does help.  My last PIP application was about three or four years ago .  The woman who did the assessment was a nurse I think and she was lovely.  At the end of the assessment she said "I'm not supposed to say this, but I would be very surprised if your PIP claim is not successful."   Two to three weeks later I received the PIP backpay in my bank account, called PIP to ask about the application and was told I'd been given Enhanced Care and Standard Mobility.  I evnetually got hold of the assessors's report and it was accurate.  I sent in no medical evidence or documents at all.
