So I had my phone assessment during this the assessor said you've ticked no on the question about budgeting and money decisions - she said but I'm going to ask dose your son help with that to, now before I could reply she said I think I know the answer to this - my reply was yes he does actually help he has to check I've paid all the bills. I might be looking to much into it but it just really confused me I'm now wondering if this will go against me - she also kept repeatedly saying would the be due to motivation like is if she was promoting me kind of way after some questions I'd answered - has anyone else experienced this and did it go against you.

Thanks

    It wouldn't go against you if you need help with budgeting - being assessed as needing help will score points which is a good thing.

    Hi @Peggy0011, yes I agree with Kimi there. It would help you score more points if anything 😊

    Hi @Peggy0011. How are you? I wondered if you'd been awarded PIP? I hope so. 😊

    HI, during my assessment she would constantly ask is it due to pain fatigue and or motivation. It does appear like they're putting words in your mouth. I've asked for a copy of my report so hopefully worrying over nothing

    Fingers crossed @curiouskitten. When you say they were putting words in your mouth can you give any examples? Or was it just asking whether it was due to pain, fatigue or motivation?

    Asking if it was pain, fatigue etc, when a word has been put in my mind I can forget about the other reason and just agree with what they say, sometimes I wanted to say brain fog rather then what she said, maybe I'm over thinking it, I know I'm in constant pain and it's easy to assume they know that. As you can tell I suffer anxiety and often over think
