I hope you get a positive outcome. I listened to all the questions that were asked when my husband had his telephone assessment. It really felt odd for someone to judge him. His needs are complex. The assessor didn't even know what one of his conditions was. He has to tell her to Google it. Very concerning

more concerning she was no where near as detailed as the guy that came and did the face to face,really cant understand why she wanted to know if i had a cat and how old it was

Ikonik

Yes. They asked my husband if he has any pets. He was like what? What's that got to do with my disabilities?

If you do have pets then they ask about whether you walk the dog, how you feed them etc and your responses will provide information about how how your illness affects your ability to do things.

nope she didnt ask if i fed the cat etc just if i had one and how old it was ,like i said seh seemed less indepth than the face to face guy i had a few years back

The assessors do not need to have any knowledge of any medical conditions because PIP isn't awarded based on a diagnosis. It's the claimants responsibility to fully explain exactly how those conditions affect you.

each time i started explaining she stopped me and said she would lead the questions and to reply just to what she asked me

Another reason why putting as much information on the form is also important. (without telling your life story) The more you leave off the form, the more questions they have to ask you.

i always put all info on forms and EVERY assesment i have had has been a lot more in depth than this one,hence why saying it seemed a bit of a weird assesment,just over 2 years ago i had copies of my forms and the guy was still very indepth and asked a lot of what was already on the forms ?

All you can do now is wait for the decision which can be between 2-12 weeks from when the report is returned to DWP. Impossible to speculate anything at this point.
