Is it normal to be asked questions around social media, TV, hot drinks, and PJs during assessment?

Thats great @mehey I hope its the news you want when you get it

Its hard to gauge these things until you actually see either the assessment report or the decision letter itself.

I've seen people post on here who have said that they thought their assessment had gone really well only to receive a report or decision letter awarding them a lot less or even nothing against what they were expecting. On the flip side there have been plenty of people who were convinced that their assessment had gone horribly wrong only to receive an award far in excess of what they expected.

(edited for grammar error)

I'm sorry to hear that @mehey. Bear in mind though that until you recieve the decision letter nothing is set in stone. Are you going to apply for a MR if the decision letter goes with the assessment report recommendations?

What do you mean by lies?

Sorry @mehey didn't quite understand what you put there. She said you were crying but said you enjoyed the conversation? What conclusion did she draw from classing the school run as an unfamiliar place?

Did she mention your list of meds in the assessment and go over them with you as to what they were?

Well hopefully @mehey the decision maker will go over everything submitted and not just the assessment report and see that there are inaccuracies in what has been stated. Until you get the decision letter, like myself, there's not much you can do until you actually have the decision in front of you.

If you do go for a MR when you state your reasons make sure you highlight where you think there were inaccuracies were and give more examples of your everyday life to reinforce these reasons. Do not accuse the assessor of lying because you cant really prove one way or the other if things in the report were deliberately misleading or just as a result of misunderstanding or miscommunication.

Hi @c2208, this will be just be asking about the daily living component of PIP and will assess how independent you can be. I hope you found it okay.

If you'd like a copy of the report then you can ring up and request it a week after your assessment. This should give you an indication about what points the assessor gave you. It is rare the decision maker goes against the report.

Very best of luck!

I had similar questions asked and I was just honest, I wasn’t bothered that what I told them because it’s not made public, I had my assessment over the phone so they couldn’t see me in pain so I just carried on as if no one was there ( when I get a sharp pain because I’ve sat for to long I would say f*** ) and they can hear that your in pain. I called them this week to ask for a copy of the assessment notes and the man I spoke to was very obliging although I got the feeling he didn’t really want to print it out and send it to me, they send it second class so could take some time to get it with COVID effecting the post.

hope all goes well for you
