    Hi,

    You'll be asked questions about how your conditions affect you daily because PIP is about how your conditions affect you rather than a diagnosis. Try to answer those questions with as much detail as possible, if you can. You should have already sent in all your evidence with the form, as they very often refuse to accept it from you on the day.

    You'll be watched from the minute they arrive to the minute they leave. If they ask you to do anything physical and it causes you pain you should tell them you can't do and your reasons why.
    There's no set time to how long the assessment will take, it really depends on how many questions they ask you and how long your answers are. Good luck.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
