My PIP so far

I applied on March 20th... Sent the form back by 6th April and I've got my face 2 face at home through Capita on Friday 1st June!
Been reading this site though and not holding my hopes too high!
I hope I get a nice one

I can only echo what wilco says, all the advice given is good, I urge you to follow it.
Just one point of many regarding my assessment. My assessor stated that throughout the interview I held her gaze and was fully compliant all the way through. She neglected to write down that around half way through the assessment it had to be stopped as I burst into tears and had to be consoled by my wife. I then did my best to complete the process. The stress of these "interviews" are devastating to those with fragile mental health, but of course it cannot be seen.
As I shuffled into the assessment room, wobbling from side to side saw my report tell me that not only did the assessor give me a full test for movement (which never happened) but that I also had no issues with being able to walk 200 metres repeatedly.
have all paperwork eg- identification. At hand so that you don’t need to get up.
if you have got somebody to stay with you, let them open the door and also show the assessor out.
dont say yes to a question if you can’t do it on a daily basis.
Had a lady call around 10.10am to say she was 20 mins early but if it was ok to attend earlier which I happily agreed.
Starting the conversation was emotional especially having to discuss in detail my conditions.
I didn't feel as if there was any trick Questions I was just totally honest throughout and my physical disability inst something that you wouldn't notice!
I just hope that I gave enough information throughout
She said I would find out in around 4 weeks unless their is a back log!
good luck
Q1 - Been given 2 points for Preparing food so that would mean ". Needs to use an aid or appliance to be able to either prepare or cook a simple meal. 2 points" however on the report the asser has written "Poor grip to left hand, relies on others"
Surely I should have been given " Needs supervision or assistance to either prepare or cook a simple meal. 4 points"
Q4 - Been given "Needs to use an aid or appliance to be able to wash or bathe. 2 points" however in the report she has put once in the shower her partner has to help her due to left side weakness and reaching certain body parts... I made it clear I couldn't wash properly between waist and shoulders but shes failed to mention this bit so in my eyes i should have got " Needs assistance to be able to wash their body between the shoulders and waist. 4 points"
Q6 - Been given Needs to use an aid or appliance to be able to dress or undress. 2 points however in her report it says "she is only able to dress herself if she avoids buttons and laces other wise her partner would have to help her" so shouldnt that be Needs assistance to be able to dress or undress their upper body. 4 points
I don't understand as I dont use AIDs or appliances I physically need my partner or family member to help me
What is everyone thoughts on the above
Yes I got 0 points had bundles of evidence.
1 year 1 month later at the tribunal I got 10 points.
The companies for the pip test are payed to fail you the interviewer gets a bonus.
They change what you say to suit them I was virtually called a lier.
Never give up fight them if you believe your right.
