Will my PIP claim be looked at more favourably if I had a home assessment?

Hi, I'm currently waiting for a decision on PIP. I had a home assessment on the 8th June, and still waiting for a decision. 
I HAVE endometriosis, crohns disease, rheumatoid arthritis, COPD, degenerative disc disease, and pernicious anaemia.  I only got low help with daily living skills, and nothing for my mobility needs.
Do you know, if after a home assessment, my claim will be looked at more favourably?
Thank you in advance for anybody replying.  It's nice to think that not all people think that we are all scroungers, wanting money for 'sitting on our fat arses, doing f all' ,I'll have them know, those people who criticise, I am only a size 8, because I don't absorb nutrients due to my crohns disease!

    Hi @milkmaid,

    Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you here. I hope the home assessment earlier this month went well.

    With regards to whether that type of assessment improves your chances of winning a PIP claim, a member of our community asked a similar question in a discussion a while ago, which you may find interesting. It's very subjective!

    I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, then please do get in touch.

    Makes no difference. I had a home visit and lost the lot. My assessor couldn't even get some of her lies straight.
