Hi there,
I had my assessment this morning. Very stressful although the Capita advisor was lovely.
I had a claim for Pip turned down in 2017, I never took it any further as it caused me to much distress I just left it. She actually went back to my claim in 2017, asking about my change of medication, how has my mental health, bipolar deteriorated etc Wasn't prepared for that as my memory is so bad I can't even remember yesterday. Anyone else had that?

Hi there
Glad your assessment is done now
They do sometimes ask about previous claims to see how things have changed
But the importance is on how you are now1 -
@janer1967 thankyou. Was just confused as she was asking about my previous antidepressant and psychotic meds I was on etc, why were they changed etc. Stressed me out a bit. Thankyou for your reply x0
