    Hi @lst84, and a warm welcome to the community!

    Well done on getting through your assessment, and I'm sorry to hear you found it so difficult. Unfortunately I'm sure many of our members will be able to relate. However, you're among friends here. Do feel free to ask any questions, or if you're just in need of a distraction in the meantime, you may be interested in our coffee lounge discussions!

    Hi, can I ask what the outcome was for you please? I had my pip assessment yesterday, for hyper mobility , ADHD anxiety and panic attacks.it took just shy of 2 hours, the lady was very kind and patient with me, but I'm unsure if that really makes a difference.

    This thread is from 2019 and the member hasn't been active since then so you may not get a reply.

    Now your assessment is completed once the report is returned a decision can take up to 12 weeks.

    PIP isn't awarded based on any diagnosis so comparing others to yourself isn't advised. Once a decision is made you will be contacted.
