    Please be cautious of the advice given on places like that. Very often the advice is shocking. I joined once but left rapidly when I realised I just couldn’t sit there and continue to read all those posts. 
    Definitely not the best place to be when going through a PIP claim. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Update. I got a txt from Pip this afternoon giving me a telephone assessment appointment for Tue 19 July 1pm. I presume its to finish the assessment from last week, hope its not with that same dreadful woman I had the hour and three quarters with!! 😥 I best phone and ask who its with, might be a complete new assessment from the start with different assessor hopefully as cant stand any further interaction with that woman

    There is nothing you can do except wait.
    I’ve been scrolling all these forums and although I find you and the poppy font very helpful. But sometimes just shutting people down when they are here to discuss their situation is not very nice. Just my opinion. Although very grateful for your help on here. @calcotti

    Your response being “There’s nothing you can do expect wait” when she clearly asked others about their experience. Is very dismissive.

    This thread is 6 months old. Calcotti was correct and there wasn't anything that could have been done.
    This doesn't stop other responding on the thread, which i see they did.

    Not in any way meant as dismissive. Simple statement that at the point in the claim process there is nothing useful to be done other than wait. In no way did this observation discourage others from posting regarding their experiences. 
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
