Hi I have got a letter today saying I have my telephone consultation next week, I have sent off a copy of my care plan with other information too I have a copy of my pip forms I filled out to refer to during the phone call.

Is there anything I should write down before my assesment ? Also with them not bring able to see me in person is there anything else I should say as I've never had a telephone consultation before.

Thank you

    Hi @kane1994
    I've included some information regarding pip assessments from the Citizens advice website. 
    https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/help-with-your-claim/your-assessment/

    This includes information about assessments and how to prepare for them. I hope it is helpful to you. 
    Best wishes

    A relative had one a few weeks ago. We kept the original assessment on hand to refer to but it was pretty straightforward. They went through each question and just asked the same thing again really. 
    I helped out with answering the questions and they were happy for us to do that.

    I came off the phone about 20 min I had my pip form there my partner and my medication to refer to all went as well as could be expected could I ring pip in a week to see if they have any updates or could it be longer.
