3 hour 10 minutes PIP phone assessment

It was so much worse than I thought it was going to be. I was waiting for the familiar questions and they started after 2 hours. I did cry a few times just from frustration of knowing how much longer it was going to take. The lady was pleasant enough but I don't trust the DWP to award fairly. I'll find out in 6-8 weeks!

Oh yeah and the assessment started 40 minutes late. I'm going to take a week to recover from that.

Wow - that's incredibly long. I hope you receive a positive result and soon. Have a restful evening and look after yourself. You got through it 😊

It did feel like that. I'm in total panic mode now because by the end I was just so worn down I can't actually remember what I said. My OH tried to stop it but I just wanted it to end. I was worn out just after the 40 minutes of waiting for it to start.

I think I might write to my MP (Mel Stride) and complain that I kept saying that I was tired after 2 hours and she kept saying only 15 more minutes, not long to go now etc.

You could write and complain to the assessment company about the nature of the assessment.
