Hi

I was looking for advice please. I have my pip phone assessment on 9th March.

My health problems are depression anxiety and hearing loss. On my claim form I mainly talked about the mental health issues but now realize I should have also talked more about my hearing loss and how it affects me

Will I be able to go into more detail at assessment or will they not let me? 

I guess I'm just so used to being deaf that I overlook the problems it causes me. I have hearing aids for both ears which I stated on the form.

Yes, you should tell them everything about how your conditions affect you during the assessment. What you should focus on,  is give a couple of real world incidents of what happened the last time you attempted each activity that applies to you. (if you didn't do this when filling out the form)
