New PIP assessment - questions

Hi all!
I am up for a pip assessment soon.
At some point since my first assessment (two years ago) one of the checkboxes that I ticked on my assessment form became incorrect (not sure when). I only discovered this since yesterday. On my second assessment form I corrected this mistake but I should have informed them earlier. What are the potential consequences of this? I may have enough points for daily living/mobility anyway. Should I hire a lawyer?
Relatively recently I also received several visitors and this forced me out of the flat which I would not normally do. I became very ill as a result of this but I am concerned that somehow they will find out about that and that and they will try and punish me by saying I left the flat when I shouldn't do.
It is also a long time till the appointment and I am pretty worried about it. Any advice?

Thank you for sharing. Sorry what has happened. All I can say is with any form. May I suggest contact CAB to help and complete. Understand the complexities of form filling. Plus benefit advice and other benefit information, enquiries. As such .
Have had support workers or health workers fill it in for me.
Understand about your assessments, advised to look at out posts on Talk about PIP. Lots of useful information, comments debates on about PIP.
As for your situation about your housing. Are you homeless? Not too clear if you are evicted or having a problem with living some where. Perhaps with some other issues then you might need to contact the relevant people.
I am not too sure how to answer. Might be worth contacting your Housing Officer the local council or Housing Association if you live in one.
Confused why would they find out exactly who?. Concerned as a member of our community. Understand about anxiety and do wish to just say we are here to help and give advice.
Assessments every body in the community I am sure knows what you are going through.
Wanted to welcome you to the community. We are friendly and supportive.
Ask the community anything.
Take care

I can only add glad your are here and now is the right time to look at how we as a community can help and advise.
I would always say we do not judge any body here and all of the views and opinions around benefits are welcomed.
I wanted to reassure you about that. Please can I ask also it might be advisable to look at some sort of support for your self, if you have not already have some in place.
Thinking about how they could help and support you if you need that. Just a member of the community concerned around your paranoid feelings.
I suffer from anxiety depression and myself have been found difficult times to cope with emotions and feelings. Have been a victim of hate crime. Do not like going out.
Had friends who I found hard to deal with and cope. Used me for my friendship to access anything I had. Including personal items, food and money.
So you are not alone there. Have one good friend who supports me . Had found mental health support through charities on line. Self referral. Helped a lot. Something to consider.
Glad to have met you. Please if you need anything please ask. Plenty of members of the community who do care. I am one.
Yes there are problems with the benefit system the unfairness. The Government sees us this community different to deal with and thinks we are a burden. Plenty of voices to shout out the issues and obvious problems.
We all need to support each other.
Take care
