I hope that poppy123456's comment has put your mind at ease a little @linzie27
Many people feel anxious when going through the PIP process, so you're certainly not alone in feeling that way.
Other than your worry over the physical assessment, how do you feel the assessment went?
Best wishes for the decision. Please do keep us updated!1 -
I am unsure I felt like a didn’t explain things maybe aswell as I should of as I was really upset and anxious threw out. Just got to wait now for the decision.0

A had a body map of the consultant stating effected areas. I wasn’t sure I was just told at the beginning of assessment she would do questions and physical0

Thank you Username_removed that’s put me at ease a bit… which nicely illustrates my point. If you had a body map and that was provided to DWP then there’s no need to do an exam to find out which areas are affected…
