How should I handle the PIP telephone assessment?

Good Afternoon 

I have a very strange or maybe not question, I have my telephone PIP Assessment next Monday , and like all  of us that have to go through this procedure it is something that plays on our minds for weeks in advance and months afterwards

My question is how are we supposed to respond to them asking how we are , as clearly we cannot say fine , or something similar, otherwise why would be applying for PIP , maybe I am just overthinking everything.

How did everyone else answer the phone when they called 

Thank you all in advance

HI,

What makes you think you can't say you're fine? If you are on that day then you should say that. PIP isn't about how you are all of the time, it's how you are at least 50% of the time. Saying you're fine at that moment most certainly doesn't mean you're not entitled to PIP.

If you kept a copy of the form you filled in have a read of that before the assessment because part of it will be to verify what you wrote in the form, as well as any additional information they ask.

Please also be aware that they may not call you exactly to time, so you could be waiting a little while after the time given.

Good luck and i hope you get the decision that's right for you.
