Has my PIP advisor messed up my claim?

I'm moving from DLA to PIP. I contacted a Disability Support Centre for help with form filling. He didn't ask about how my fibromyalgia affected me, in fact he didn't seem to ask much generally.
When I commented on it he said he filled in loads of these forms every day and he was just giving them the necessary as they never read them anyway. He posted the form for me and gave me a copy and said I'd probably go for a face to face assessment.
Now I have looked at the copy and am scared he may have messed it up for me as the info he has written is very brief and in no way gives the amount of detail requested.
Do you think I need to worry? The help centre was recommended to me by a friend so I had no reason not to trust him.

Was there a reason why you didn't fill the form in yourself? I think the best person to say how your condition affects you is you, but that's just my opinion - I know there are others on here who disagree...
Let us know what happens...
Can someone tell me how to post replies properly please?
Thanks. Can you explain the flag icon please?
The form was very poorly filled in by him and I don't know what to do. Could he, as a professional, have made things worse for me, or am I worrying unnecessarily?
Will I just have to wait now until I get called for a face to face?
I had mine this week and had to tell them about having to add anaemia to my medical condition list.
I was only told I had that last week.
She was quite happy about adding it to my other problems.
If you have to go for a F2F then prepare to give some examples of how your condition affects you.
That was one of the reasons I wanted help, because I get so jumbled in my head I can't think straight. And trying to explain how I feel is so difficult. I can actually hear myself not making sense and that make it worse. I've even been accused of being drunk!!
I'm really glad you got everything sorted for your daughter. It's bad enough when you're trying to do your best for yourself, but it's so much more important to get it right for those you care about.
I found it helpful to look at the PIP descriptors so that I knew exactly what I was applying for.
There are some 'anomalies' such as Preparing Food - which doesn't include using an oven and, if I remember correctly, bathing doesn't consider drying yourself. So don't bother with these!
Bear in mind also that you have to be able to do anything 'reliably' - which means safely, repeatably, in a reasonable time, and to an acceptable standard.

Good luck..
This forum ( @poppy123456 especially) helped a lot for me and now when I have to fill my review form and next ESA medical form out I'll have an idea of what to write whereas before I sent them back almost blank. The content in my Mr/appeal compares to my original form was night and day thanks to this forum, if only I had known about it in the first place.
As poppy said the best person that can explain your disability is yourself or someone that sees you often and can see the difficulties you have.
The hard part is understanding the descriptors imo, because they're so cut clear but at the same time they're vague as to what they actually mean.
For ESA I have always just sent my form back almost blank, the assessor always comments on how little is wrote on it. However after face to face I've always been kept on in the support group, generally for 3 years. My problems are very noticeable when seeing me in person and because of this I never really looked into it further, the assessors done their job fine as far as I was concerned and I had no reason to look into it.
For PIP I assumed it would be the same as ESA hence sending my original form back with next to nothing. But that was a mistake so I turned to Google and found scope in a quest to find out more information because I didn't think my report was accurate and thanks to poppy and others I have some understanding of the descriptors and on review i will be able to explain my problems better in ways that satisfy the descriptors and hopefully won't have to go to appeal.
Do you think it would be ok to give them some extra A4 sheets I filled in with more complete answers to the pip form questions? My benefits advisor wrote very scant answers when he 'helped' me with the form and I don't feel he represented me very well and wrote misleading answers.
They're supposed to read what you give them and take it into account. My assessor didn't - I think that if it was important enough I might consider reading it to them myself....
Good luck....
I'll give honest answers but if they base questions on the answers on my form that's a problem as they are my 'advisors' answers. i.e. he mentioned fibro fog and I'd never heard of it until I asked him to explain. It's not a term I would ever use. He also states I wear wrist supports and it's painful to grip my walking stick. Not true. I wear them because my wrists are weak and it hurts to twist them, as in wringing out a face flannel, or open jars.
