    Hi All after all the anxiety i felt about my daughters pip face to face I would like to say a big thank you to all the replies you all  gave me ,as they took away a lot of my fears and uncertainties,,Well Rosie you were right the lady we had was lovely ,not what I was expecting. she was so nice i forgot to mention somethings .I also went well prepared with my note book etc and forgot to use them ,oops..,.Hopefully it wont effect my daughters claim.Its strange but it all seems like a dream now.In fact the worse thing was finding the place in a busy city ,That caused more stress than the pip face to face.,Now the waiting game begins,I must admit it is all a long tense process. So stressful for disabled people,Just glad its over for now.

    Hi jaycee
    Glad things went a bit smoother than expected for you at the assessment, its such a relief to get it over and done with.  I did mean to post back earlier to find out how you got on but the site is so busy and I lost the thread (now bookmarked).  Hope you get a good outcome.

    Thought you might be interested in this link below, a lot in the news today about flawed assessments!

    Hi Jaycee and Sue, I only caught a bit of the news that was on bbc last night and have been looking for a direct link on their website to watch it and post but can't find anything as yet.  Did find the one below from channel 4.

    It is shocking what these assessment companies have put people through, but then I have also read reports that the blame really lies with the DWP as if they don't like the assessment report they send it back to the assessor to be altered in their favour.  I get the feeling this is just the tip of the ice burg and much more will emerge.

    Apparently the government are now going to have a consultation to decide if all assessments should be recorded..........Strewth!
