Hi everyone. My husband recently applied for Pip for his ADHD after being formally diagnosed in April this year and has had a letter today inviting him for a telephone consultation. The letter says I can join the call to help. Even though I am so Neurotypical we have been together 30yrs so I think I've got a lot to contribute from perspective. Have any of you guys been through this process of the telephone consultation? What can we expect? Helpfulness or resistance!

    I don't have Adhd but have a family member who does.I had a pip telephone assessment in October.My experience was actually fine ( I haven't had the results back yet).She was understanding of my extreme anxiety ( she called 30 minutes later than time given).Asked questions about how my individual illnesses affect me on a daily basis,what I find hard.How often I go out and where I go.To list my medications and how they affect me.If I drive etc.
