Hi I applied for pip March 2019 got turned down the form was filled in by my friend who didn’t put any details in the original form, I got a telephone assessment the person asked me about my depression and on percentage off how much I get good days I said 60 percent good days I was very anxious during the call they said I appeared not anxious. Anyway I got confused and should have said 60 bad days not that my depression goes away . Am in the middle of a tribunal and I don’t know if I can say to them that I meant to say 60 percent bad days ? Also on the original form for pip my friend ticked no to preparing a simple meal I did know what promoting meant at the time and she didn’t read any off the things relating to preparing a simple meal as I do need prompting with this 60 percent off the time I don’t know if I can say that either I feel I have messed it all up as I didn’t get help to fill in the form properly. I just don’t know what to say now and I don’t want to be made out that am lying is anyone been through the same or someone could give me some info on what to do xx

The tribunal will ask about how your condition affects you so yes you need to say how it is
Explain about how you didnt understand the form or what your friend put without explaining to you
Also how due to stress you didnt answer the assessors questions correctly
Good luck fingers crossed for you
