Pip first claim / OCD,ANXIETY,DEPRESSION

jessica141

Hi 
After years of being told by family,mental health nurse and gp iv finally put in for pip.
Applied 31st of january and had my phone assesment on tuesday, long story short, i suffer with ocd,anxiety and depression. On bad days im house bound, good days can go out but always have someone with me. 
On the form (which citizens advice filled in for me thanks to my mental reablement lady referring me) it stated how my partner cooks as im unable to, prompts me to get dressed,bathe etc has to deal with my meds as i have fears of overdosing and or taking the wrong medication and so on, but on the call with the asessor i feel like the things he asked me, didnt truly reflect how i live, for example he asked if i would be able to get my medication,which had already been stated i dont deal with them but asked if i physically could, which obviously i physically can but i dont down to stress and worry,will the decision maker take all into account? This wait is awful! Has anyone got any positive stories? 
Any help or input much appreciated

Before making a decision all your evidence will be looked at, including the assessment report. It's very easy to overthink things after the assessment. I know it's difficult but please try to think of something else while you wait.

A decision can be anywhere from 2-12 weeks. If successfully awarded any money owed is usually received into your bank before you receive the decision letter.
