PIP Interview

I have my PIP interview tomorrow. 

Can anyone tell me what to expect or any tips on what to say?

I am a bit worried about it.

  • I've got my PIP assment next week and I have no idea what to expect, but from the letter I got it sounds like its going to be another autism assement on the phone.

  • Just had mine , horror story . She changed every time i said "cant cope " to "struggles to cope". I got judged as though just because i got through a 1 hour call im fine in social situations . im still waiting for my autism assessment ( over 2 years ) so she also put down at every instance possible "  undiagnosed autism see no reason why he cant function in public . I also got the "didnt sound nervous on the phone even though phone calls are extremely awkward and i was pacing and stimming through the whole call she claims i sounded fine. . I requested the PA4 so got to see all of her comments . i have since officially complained about her conduct and will be requesting a mandatory reconsideration when dwp send my letter  .  Hopefully you get a reasonable assessor . You can request your PA4 within 24 hours of the  text arriving to see how its gone and if they have awarded points or not. Good luck .

  • you made me laugh .... doesnt happen very often . thanks for chatting

  • I got LCWRA because near the end of the interview I was asked about self harm and suicide.  And I was very happy chatting with him about the pros and cons of various methods of suicide until we ran out of time.

  • I cant believe my pip review has come before the LCWRA. i actually applied for pip quite some time after LCWRA . I also cant believe how the pip assessors can get away with straight up lying . i went through every point where she had changed what i said and contradicted herself in the report ive emailed it in and am waiting for an acknowledgment and hopefully an apology , i also felt pressed into answering some questions i told her i had no answers to  . These people should be held accountable, its soul destroying to know you suffered so much stress for someone to lie and dismiss it . Im really dreading that my LCWRA assessor will be as bad as the pip one .  Anyway sorry about the rant . 

  • Just apply and do your best.

    I applied for Lcwra first and made a complete mess of the interview.  So I decided to reapply for PIP.  A day after I sent my PIP application  I was told I was successful in my Lcwra application. 

  • Im dreading applying for that now . i have a doctor backing me , im using talking therapies and they have assigned a nurse to help me but im still wondering if i will get pip or lcwra .
