    Hello @nini1963 Pleased to meet you welcome.

    Best wishes on your assessment and I hope it is a satisfied outcome.
    Understand some one from our community will be able to help.  Perhaps have you seen the information on benefits and PIP could give you some answers.

    Only I am in the similar position to  you and I can not recall the answer. Sorry. Have forgotten some of this. Need to refresh maybe.

    Take care

    Hello Nigel @nini1963 and a very warm welcome to the community. I, too, hope that everything goes well for you.
    I would strongly recommend that you have a look at our PIP FAQs resource, as it will help you to be ready when the time comes. Perhaps you could take a peak and let us know if it helps?
    And, in the meanwhile, stay in touch and don't hesitate to ask any questions that you may have.
    Very warmest best wishes to you
    Richard
