    Hi any PIP awards that are due to end and the assessment hasnt taken place before the award end date are being extended by 6 months due to covid, so dont panic your money will not stop

    Once you have had your telephone assessment the report will go to DWP for them to make decision on what to award you this will then be your new award and you new award is what you will be paid for once decision is made

    About 7 days after your assessment you can request a copy of the report this isnt the final decision but shows what the assessor has recommended

    Just tell it how it is
    Give real examples of what happens when you try and do a task eg last time I prepared a meal I burnt myself 

    Dont just say I cant do it say why , where, when, how tell of any support or prompting you need or any aids you use

    It is also good to have copy of your form at hand to remind you of what you put 

    Try not to worry it could be a while before it happens
