Hi been a while but have now got my assessment date. This Friday 9/8. Feel really anxious about it. So many bad stories. But fingers crossed hope it goes well and get a good out come. Will let you know.  Can anyone tell me do you still get payments while they’re making decision?

Hello @Tricia1912

With PIP you get payments until they decide you are no longer entitled to the benefit so yes.

Try not to worry. I know it is daunting. Are you taking someone with you?

@Hello Jaja
yes my son is taking me in his car and my husband is coming in. I don’t think they will let three of us in. The lady at cab gave me some help. She filled my form in for me and highlighted things to me l hadn’t thought about. But l know that’s not s guide as to how it will go.

Hello @Tricia1912

I'm glad you have got support. It will help. If not already, you might consider making your husband aware of the PIP system and how the points system works. That way if you get nervous he can help or add things to your answer.

Take care

Hi @jaja
l have put him in the picture of the things that happen. It’s awful to think you have you play mind games as if the assessment wasn’t bad enough. Thanks anyway.
