Hi @Robbo1965 welcome to the communityI!

In the meantime, while you're still waiting, you can try out this PIP self test which gives you all the questions that are included in the PIP form, along with answers that best describe your ability to do these tasks.

Do let us know if we can be of any further assistance!

Hi Robbo1965, welcome my friend I to am an OA sufferer and have also CRPS, (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) and I have suffered from constant Chronic pain now for over a decade, I to am also on High rate Mobility Indefinitely, I also get Care Component, But I have not been assessed for PiP either, and  the stories you hear about the assessment process is enough to scare anyone. I've decided not to think about it until it happens, but because I also suffer from Dyslexia I get all my forms filled out by the CAB, who know exactly how the system works and they will do everything within there power to assist you in the best possible way. This is the only piece of advice I can really give you, only don't have nightmares about the PIP process, It's simply not worth it, also although I have no political following apparently if Labour gets in they are going to Scrap the PIP benefit and put it back to its original format DLA. Good luck with things and once again welcome my Friend.
