I hope that poppy123456's comment has put your mind at ease a little @linzie27

Many people feel anxious when going through the PIP process, so you're certainly not alone in feeling that way.

Other than your worry over the physical assessment, how do you feel the assessment went?

Best wishes for the decision. Please do keep us updated!

Thank you Username_removed that’s put me at ease a bit
