Hi I'm Vic I have just had my pip assessment I feel I didn't do well.

Lots of people think the same after their assessment but go on to be awarded successfully. At the moment, it's impossible to speculate anything. Once the report is returned to DWP a decision can take 2-12 weeks.

Welcome to the community @vicdon Thank you for joining us, and for telling us about your PIP assessment.

I'm sorry to hear that you don't feel as though it went well. As poppy123456 has said, many people feel this way after their assessment, so you're certainly not alone. 

Would you like to tell us a bit more about what's made you feel as though it didn't go well? 

I've moved your post into our PIP category, and renamed it slightly, so that it'll be easier for other members to find.

Hi.and yes I felt like because I told the truth and said I was last out one month ago alone .that I won't qualify. As I walked to the job centre alone but I didn't like it so job centre said they will do phone calls from Now on for me .but because it was only a month ago .if I would of lied and said 6 months ago not left the house for they he points .i also said I don't need help dressing as I don't. People say lie but why should I. And I did pip test online my self n no award came up .

Hi can you pass a pip assessment if you have anxiety and don't go out alone .she seemed more interested in if I can dress and how many tomes I bath a week .

You shouldn't rely on the PIP self test because it's not accurate unless you fully understand the PIP descriptors and criteria. Few people do and it's very easy to underscore and even over score yourself.
