Hi everyone.

I'm new here.

I have a telephone assessment on Friday.

I have used the turn2us checker, which says in their opinion I should get the higher rate due to the answers, and the points scored.

I know I can't count this as read that I will get pip, but I wondered if anyone had used the checker and were or weren't awarded pip.

Using any test like this and including the PIP self test are never a reliable source to use, unless you fully understand the descriptors and what they mean, very few people do. It's very easy to overscore and even underscore yourself.

Whether there's any entitlement will depend on how your conditions affect you. You're much better off doing some research to try to understand the criteria a little more than using any test like this.

This may help.
