Just had my pip home assessment. Took 35 minutes. Wasn't asked much at all about the form I had already filled in and the answers I had already given. Was asked if I used an aid to get in shower or bath on which I replied no and if I struggled to walk which I also replied no. My illnesses are spondylosis in my neck. Osteoarthritis in shoulder, fingers and wrist. Clinical depression and anxiety. Trigger thumb. Fibromyalgia.
Medication is amitriptyline, diclofenac codine, duluxoteine, omeprazale, paracetamol. Steroide injections every 4 month. Physio. On sick from work as cannot do my job due to my condition/pain.
Had all my medication and prescription list on table for assessor but she said she didn't need to see them as they were already on my form I sent in. She did put that I had had a recent cortisone injection and put on a new medication. Diclofenac. She asked if I drove. I answered no and also asked if I had any interest or hobbies which I also replied no. She said this would be down to my condition that I wasn't bothered about doing things or have any interest in things. I sat on settee and didn't move wasn't asked to do any physical things or anything. She typed things on her laptop and said everything was quiet straight forward and she would send her assessment off later today. She also told me she would see herself out and for me to stay were I was . Should I have not been asked questions regarding anything I had put on my form when I first applied??
