Pip assessment

winnie44

Hi 
I’m new!!!
i had a pip assessment today, was absolutely petrified waiting for her to arrive, I’ve read a lot of bad stories.

i have arthritis, sclerosis of the hips, depression, anxiety, coeliac disease, bile acid malabsorption, I’m 39. 

She asked me lots of questions and seemed sympathetic when I got upset a couple of times, she said bless you a few times to me.

she asked me how far I can walk and I said ooh gosh it’s hard to say as I’m always in pain, so I answered I can walk to my car which is approx 10 meters but I would be in pain, she said that’s fine, I joked and said I wish I had timed it, she said well you know for next time!!

what does that mean?? 

Im second guessing my answers now and feel like I talked myself out of some. 

So stressful but glad it’s over x

she told me her timescale was 45 mind and they shouldn’t go over, it was about an hour in total.
