My IAPT counsellor wants me to try to apply for PIP but I'm worried about:
Can anyone share their real-life experiences of the above please so I can try to make an informed decision on whether to go ahead?
dont go into it with any expectations and it wont be traumatising.... infact it shouldnt be traumatising at all, the only thing traumatising would be being granted it, then it being reviewed later and them saying actually you dont fit the requirements for it and then being accused of fraud later down the line.. .which can happen, and that will be traumatising lolalso some landlords like benefit claimants as its more assured money... sure it can be late, but it always comes... a person with job may lose job then refuse to pay... the job center never refuses to pay, its guarunteed secure money for the landlord.
"dont go into it with any expectations"
Sorry, I'm confused. Does this mean, for example, should not expect to asked a question or that I should not expect to any questions asked to be in English?
expect questions, expect scrutiny..... dont expect to be given pip and awarded it, like most people go into and put their entire life plans on... expect to not get it. then you shall avoid disappointment.basically common sense of dont expect a win, dont expect a positive outcome. expect the worst, and then you shall never find disappointment. if you expect the worst results then you will always be happy, when you get a win then its a bonus rather than a thing for granted. most people go in thinking they are entitled to things and get upset when they are refused. its the wrong mindset alot of people have and it applies to all aspects in life. always expect the worst case in everything.
