Assessment day today !!!!!!!!

Oh dear is it in the documents that she’s very angry about the stroke maybe she’s angry at losing her dependence and we do take things out on our nearest and dearest. Have doctors said that she’s struggling emotionally with it all icanubderstand her anger at having to go maybe you should have asked for a home visit? You can cancel once if you haven’t cancelled maybe consider it and if you feel it would be better ask for a home visit?. Good luck either way.

@spire2003 Let me reassure you that your wife won't get the opportunity to say things about you apart from what you do for her. The assessment is based on a standard set of questions only adapted according to the person's disabilities. She will stand a much better chance of being awarded PIP if you go in with her and even prompt her to remember what she needs to tell the assessor. If she is taking anything you need to carry it otherwise she will be seen as able to do more than maybe she is. It sounds like she really needs support right now and her anger isn't personal it's a well known senario that when someone is suffering they take it out on their nearest and dearest. Try to look beyond her low mood and her through this. If she says anything about you the assessor won't be listening as they only hear what's needed for the report they do afterwards where it will be noted she was not alone and needed prompting etc. When you get the copy of her report you will be able to help her remember whether the assessor has written what actually took place and not changed anything as they so often do. It's up to you but do please consider going in with her.
