PIP assessor phoning me at home, help.

firefly22

She called this morning at just gone 8am.

It went OK I think, it was different questions to before, how I cope with panic attacks and how I would cope on my own etc. She says she thinks she has it all now.

I'm terrible on the phone and I'm expecting a bad result, but I just hope it's over now!

Hello @firefly22, that's very early to have to confront something like that! How are you feeling now? Have you managed to distract yourself a bit over the course of the day?

firefly22

Yes, it was very early, and I had had no sleep for hours the night before. I had only woken up at just before 8 too, but at least  didn't have time to worry about it.

I've been better now it's over and I'm trying to tell myself it's all done now. Hopefully it really is this time.

Hello @apollo14lmp, I'm very sorry to read that you're in a bad place and that you don't feel the community has been supportive of you. I'm also sorry if you feel as if I've been rude to you, as that's never my intention and if there's anything in particular that you'd like help with, I'd be happy to assist. You're always welcome to make a post here, or message the team at community@scope.org.uk.

The reason I've had to email with regards to closing your account, is that there are different ways of doing this, such as leaving your content intact but deleting your account, or by deleting everything and I need your explicit permission to do either. If you can let me know your preference, I'll be able to assist with this.

Additionally, if you'd like to make a complaint, you can do so here.

You can like comments and still have nothing to comment about.

I remember your problems with the housing benefit but that's something you really do need to get some expert advice about.

@apollo14lmp - I'm very sorry for the problems you have and I hope you can find some help to sort them out.

 Lot's of people who post on here - and I'm one - have had a bad experience with PIP but I don't think that constantly making negative posts on here helps anyone. People seem to 'vent' and then move on and I'm sorry that you can't do that. If you check back through this topic you will see what I mean.

Personally I've always thought of this forum as been for 'advice'. I wonder if your posts about Amber Rudd and "tories would send you up a chimney' might be better on a political forum?

@apollo14lmp - It is very hard and sometimes everyone needs to sound off. I don't know if this might help?

When I became ill I get stressed very easily and also see a lot of negative in things.Whatever happens I always see the worst... I can't change that - it's just the way i am now.

If someone/something is making me stressed I ask myself "Can I actually change this?" If the answer is "No" then I try (and this is the hard bit) to just let it wash over me and not worry.

The same with thinking negative thoughts. I have to think all of the time "What's the positive in this?" and look at the positive rather than the negative. Same with posting on the internet, although I do lapse from time to time!

Can't help with your Housing I'm sorry as I've not claimed it but there is another forum for that I think..

Hi @ajones Welcome to the community. I can see you've been commenting on some quite old posts. I made you your own post, which you can find here, so that you can get some answers specific to your situation.
