Will I need a face to face assessment?

I currently have high rate moblity indefinate and low rate care. Just filled in a pip form and sent off .I have rhuematoid arthritis with inflammotory disease do you think I will have to attend an assessment as I find them the most distressing factor of my illness and even harder to explain is how much pain I'm in ps.should of appealed the low rate care as my mum does almost everything for me since I was last assessed just couldn't go through another assessment to challenge it x

Thank you joining and sharing.
Sorry what has happened. I am unsure of an answer to your question. A member of our community or team will advise.
Have a look at our benefit advice for support from members who are going through the same. Does help.
Consider speaking to CAB for any benefit advice or information.
Can help with form filling in and offer other support.
We are a friendly, supportive community. Care and share.
Please ask the community anything some one will know.
Please take care

I won't bother detailing all of my issues as they are not relevant, but in general I have a life limiting gastro problem, blocked arteries, damaged lower and upper spine, Pulmonary Fibrosis (right lung has failed) and mental health issues along with an acquired brain injury caused by trauma.
I used to have an indefinite DLA award from 1995 of High Care & Mobility. My PIP claims all resulted in no points from three face to face assessments!
You can only roll the dice!
Perhaps speaking to a counselor might help?
