Im so worried about my PIP phone call on Monday as struggle to talk on the phone and fear i will have a panic attack.

Since filling in my form, ive had a fall and damaged my wrist. I didnt go to hospital as theres no way i can wait that long in a crowded room, so im just putting up with it.

The thing is i could possibly do things before my fall that i cant do now. Do i base my answers on how i am now or how i usually am without my hurt wrist?

Thankyou

@fizzybubbly try and stay calm for your phone call, prepare and be comfortable for the call. Have your information with you, you could have notes about your struggles per day with your disabilities. You can ask for a break if it is getting to much for you.

You should have your wrist checked. Going early morning will reduce the crowds. You can mention your wrist as it happened before the call you are waiting for and let them know things are harder to do.
