Hi everyone, 1st time posting, I'll try n keep it as short as possible, I applied for pip in Dec 18 (sent forms in late, did the MR process, then went to appeals, I won) I had my f2f assessment with atos last weekend, requested the assessors report, added points up, came to 11 which I'm pleased with, the only thing thts got me worried is in my assessment she's basically copied and pasted the same answers for all the questions I received the points on and stated the reason for points is "Lack of motivation, due to medication" my meds are strong anti-depressants, diazepam ect, I gave medical evidence of my mental health (EUPD, GAD, Agraphobia) now I'm panicking that the Dm will throw it out simply because of the term used "lack of motivation", thanks in advance for any advice received x

Hello @Budmeg and welcome to the community.
As CockneyRebel said, they usually do go with the assessor's report so it hopefully won't be a problem. Fingers crossed for your decision, let us know how you get on.Community Manager

Finally got my decision over the phone this morning, after 5 weeks 4 days they have awarded me standard daily living & standard mobility, got to admit the mobility part came as a shock, but the wait is finally over... Longest 5 weeks of my life tbh x
