Hi and welcome
Pip is all about how your condition affects your daily living and mobility against the descriptors
Unfortunately we cant say if you would be awarded as we dont know
Have you sent your application off ? Giving as much detail on the form about how you can or cant do the tasks is best advice giving real life examples -
Yes I sent my form off in November I've got a telephone assessment on Tuesday I've emailed them to tell them I won't be able to speak on the phone because of my nerves anxiety and my stammer.

Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
Thank you!

They usually do a phone assessment as f2f are currently suspended at present
If you are unable to do phone assessment you may have a long wait for a f2f assessment
Have you had any response from the email ?
-
Yes they said they have arranged for a paper assessment instead and get back to me to let me know if it can go ahead.

That's good news then just have to wait now till a decision is made

OK great thank you.

Hope all goes well

Thank you
