Took 8 weeks in total after sending form back, I was on high mobility and low care under DLA.
Moved to PIP enhanced Mobility and enhanced Daily living awarded Ongoing 10 years then a light touch.
My PIP was done with Capita, and my report was spot on 100%
I also sent untold of evidence too.
I created one of the campaign election video for Labour, and Jeremy Corbyn,

I'm sorry to hear you're not getting more support. As Elsey66 said, unless you've experienced anxiety, you can only really sympathise and it's one of those terms that gets conflated with being 'nervous', which unfortunately leads to more people not understanding just how debilitating it can be.
Please let us know how you get on and I hope you get the outcome you're after.

When I went for my assessment I was on zero mental health services or medication. I mr'd it and the DWP said in their response they don't believe what I wrote because it's inconsistent with people with anxiety levels to not be under mental health professionals or medication.
When I went for tribunal I did have a support worker with me and was on medication ( which once again doesn't help anyways ), they weren't interested in this really at all. The only thing they asked was what my support worker does for me, but I think that was just them wording "what can't you do yourself?" In a different way that would be easier for me to answer (I have communication problems, especially when it comes to talking about my problems)
Wether you have a cpn or not has no bearings on how your disability effects you so should make no difference in the decision. It just depends on what he said to them but considering your still under mental health teams I don't think it's gonna go bad for you
Thanks for sharing your news and good luck!
