Honestly I can't think straight , i asked if he would read some over the phone to me and he's literally scored me 0 on most of the descriptors ... They haven't made a decision yet on mine yet either but going off that what the assessor put it's a no no ... I was ill on the day aswell so I don't know why he has said what he's said they shouldn't put people through this

Yeah, it makes our mental health worse and even physical health.
While you are waiting for a decision, see if you have a advice centre in your area that can help, like CAB, Welfare Rights etc. -
It's awful isn't it ... Why do they lie like this I don't understand it's all gone against me because I don't have a cpn anymore and only have access to CBT he's put I have no input from mental health teams ... It's not fair we are judged by that when we've gone through all resources they discharge you because there's nothing they can do once diagnosed apart from therapy and medication and sometimes that doesn't work .
I've just rang CAB but there's nothing they can do till I have a decision then they will help me with the MR so I've just got to wait now .
I wish I'd never asked tbh it's sent my head west least I know what to expect I suppose
Fingers crossed for you . -
Thanks, I don't know how this assessment went, I'll just have to way and see what the report says.
I was sat here all anxious when my Son called to ask for the report, I was relieved when he said a decision hadn't been made yet lol, yes I am a tad weird! -
Well I hope it all goes well , your not weird I felt the same tbh just wish I hadn't asked what was written in the report
-
Thanks, I think you probably asked because waiting was also making you anxious and messing with your mental health? and then when it was bad news that made you feel worse. When I first claimed PIP I wasn't at all worried about the end result and that's because I wasn't getting the money to start with but now I am getting the money, I am now worried about the end result.. I would say that out of all of my health problems, my mental health problems causes me the most grief.

I understand what you mean about being discharged back to the GP which was the same for me. According to their assessment report I no longer have any mental illness! Me wonders why I am still on 200mg of Sertraline daily and always have the opportunity of going back to the consultant if I think things are going downhill.
I gave up fighting that part of the battle with the DWP as no matter what I say or evidence would never change their mind simply because I am not wasting the valuable time seeing a consultant when I don't need him.

I no longer have treatment but was awarded PIP in 2014 mainly based on my mental health problems and no, I didn't have pages of evidence either, I had two letters, one confirmed what I had the other was my GP stating I had trying various things to help myself but nothing worked, I was awarded enhanced for 5 years. My previous GP refused to give these assessment centres a lot of info, she said they weren't properly qualified. She was always pretty supportive and never charged me for letters.
I mean it could be different now? I don't know. I had my review assessment last month, so I'll have to say what the report says when I get it. -
Well I've received my assessment report today and he's scored me fit and healthy basically ... It says to review me after two years as I do have long term mental health conditions but scored me according to the actual day he saw me saying I can do this and that without any help .. I wasn't well and I can prove that as I went to the doctor's the day after also I was so nervous my legs were shaking and I was sat fanning myself with the leaflet... He's said I was fine answered all his questions have a good understanding of my mental health which he didn't even ask me ect... It makes me laugh they can acknowledge people have issues but say they are fine how do they know from an hour being with them especially when they have lots of evidence regarding how disabilities affect us , how are they allowed to go against the people who know us !

I don't know if they do but I feel like my friend doesn't like me anymore I get this a lot though s..it's completely irrelevant to the issue of pip .
