assessment of social functioning for PIP

I have my PIP assessment in two weeks. I've been doing some reading about it on this webpage https://disabilityclaims.uk/questions-asked-at-pip-assessment/, which I found to be quite helpful.
I have PTSD, and a lot of the reduced functioning that I experience is in different social situations. There were many different fields in the form that I filled out about reduced social functioning, however on that website it doesn't say anything about that and it seems to look like the assessment will be based only on physical ability to do things. There were also parts of the form that I filled out about things like being able to manage my finances on my own, which are not mentioned on that website.
Will those things be discussed in my assessment and will I be scored on them?

Lets us know how it goes, about 7 days after the assessment you can request from the DWP a copy of the assessors report which should give you an indication of the award you might get.

Good luck Joe F 👍( I do feel that 'luck ' plays a big part on your assessment and that should not really be the case in my opinion) .
I got a very nice ( yet professional ) assessor . I hope you get a decent professional phone assessment Joe . Prepare for all questions and go over it beforehand to make sure you have answers at hand .
Good luck with your application.
Altho this is about completing a PIP form, it is about mental health issues, which again I hope, as mentioned above, you have detailed in your claim pack.
