Will PIP turn me down because of medical evidence?

hi all any advise would be great , recently applied for pip had face to face assessment report as been received and being sent out now waiting on a decision , I applied on the basis that I have fibromyalgia and also suffer really bad with panick attacks and anxiety , I’m at minute seeing a cbt regarding my anxiety and panick attacks but haven’t seen anyone regarding it apart from my doctor which is who I see for my fibro , I’m worried now that they might take this into account and not of even contacted my doctor , I never sent any medical evidence in just my application form and told them to contact my doctor she’s lovely and knows all about me , I often go and just sit there and cry 😢 because of my anxiety but I’m worried that pip might of not contacted her and just gone on what I said in my form , as anyone got any advise , I’ve got a feeling that I’m going to be turned down because of not enough medical evidence thanks in advance xx

Thank you for sharing your story . Understand the situation you are in and the problems and issues all around the assessments.
All I can add is we as a community are supportive, friendly. Can understand the anxiety you have. Good to hear you are seeing and getting some support to deal with this.
May I also ask you to consider looking at what support I can get to help me further with my anxiety and panic attacks. I know a lot of stress and anxiety around the outcome and what if. Please can I suggest have a look on line for mental health support. You can self referral . Many charities can be beneficial to help and support your mental health.
I have done this many times. I thought could help you.
May I suggest and wait till you get the outcome of your PIP. I know I suffer from anxiety and depression. Having gone through this before so many times. I want to reassure you that you first of need to wait the outcome.
Then if you do get refused I am sorry to tell you this you might then you need to be prepared for an appeal. We as community then can support and help and advise.
Understand the anxiety I had my PIP few weeks ago.
Ask the community for anything else they can suggest or advise. Regarding your well being or health. Have a look at our posts on Talk about Specific Conditions. Also have a look at Practical Support and information.
Hope you find everything helpful and useful.
Please take care
