I don’t think I can face my assessment the idea of going makes me so scared I don’t know what to do. 
I don’t go to the doctors or anywhere but I need help.

I can’t talk to people unless I prepare what I say like a script. 

How can I go to an assessment and answer questions I don’t know what will be asked.

I’m too scared. 

Does anyone have asvice to cope with assessments?

HI and welcome,

You really haven't given any information for anyone to be able to help you. I'm assuming that this is a PIP assessment because you've posted in the PIP part of the forum, is that correct? If so is it a first time claim, a review or a transfer from DLA?

Check out the descriptors in the link below and see if any of them apply to you:

If enough of them do then yes you should qualify. You need to score at least 8 points in either the “daily living” or “mobility” sections to qualify for PIP.

For the PIP assessment you'll need to verify what you wrote in the form and answer any additional questions they have. What they ask you will totally depend on how your conditions affect you. As everyone is different then no one can tell you exactly what they will ask.

You will be watched from the minute you arrive to the minute you leave so do be aware of that.

For the work capability assessment then it's very much the same but has different criteria and for this you'll be assessed on your ability to do any type of work. They will want to know how your conditions affect you in a typical day. Again, no one can tell you what they will ask because it differs for everyone.

Hope this helps. Good luck for both.
