    @james12th answered your thread here https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/66724/pip-help
    ⬇️
    I created one of the campaign election videos for Labour, and Jeremy Corbyn,
    This is a new version of Emeli Sande, Hope "You Are Not Alone
    I highlighted everything that's wrong with this country from benefits, NHS, UC etc, but now we have to put up with the hate now that is the Tories. 

    You can see the video here.

    Hello @James12th   They will contact you,  I am sure that they do if I recall.

    I know they will send one in time

    The support worker you have can help you with any of that. Ask her to ring PIP helpline.

    0800 121 4433

    Please can I add they are there to help you as I have stated. Useful for form filling in, any thing benefits including attendance of assessments.

    I hope it is working for you and not getting the right support. If not please remember you have the right to good care and if it is mental health issues you are being supportive with.

    Should be compassionate and have empathy if not use other organisations or charities happy to help.

    I can give other charities.

    I hope that helps you. 

    Please take care.
