HI all just had a face to face PIP assessment after being awarded DLA for life. The assessment was the most horrendous ordeal I have ever experienced from wanting to know the author of the books I read to pretty much everything I do on a day to day basis. I appreciate the assessment is warranted and they are just doing there job but my medical evidence speaks to itself and supports my disability I just didn't think I had to justify this over and over again to a non-medical person. Absolutely disgusted with the entire process and feel so upset by the hour and a half off total interrogation.
