Hi I just wanted to tell that I had my phone assessment today. It was a 2 hour long call. The lady on the other side was very nice. It is my first pip review after 3 years. I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia in last 2 years as well. Before I was granted for Psoriatic arthritis. I got so mentally drained after the call. Whole day I was in bed. Call was from 9 am to 11 am. I cried twoce during call. I just wanted to ask why is this so dehumnising procedure 😭

    The pip assessment can definitely be incredibly draining @535mum, how are you feeling today? I hope you manage to take it easy over the next day or so to recover from the stress of it all.

    Glad you're having a bit of a better day @535mum, hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the result now.

    I had my hands MRI last week and I told the assessor and I am waiting for the results. She said to me if the result comes before the decision I can send it to dwp. Does that mean I didnt score enough 😭
