I've just received a text message to ring and arrange a PIP assessment for myself, the message stated they have appointments available in the next 7 days.
The only available one I was given is 9am tomorrow morning.
I accepted it.
Have I made a fatal error.
I can't find anyone to go with me at such short notice. And going alone terrifies me.
Is it normal to be given less than 24 hours notice of a PIP assessment. Or are they playing games?
I'm back from my PIP assessment.
I went with my sister.
It went badly for me!
Lasted one hour.
Most Questions were slow and detailed about my physical conditions. Which I don't suffer from. And he ran out of time for the later social/mental ones that I do suffer from.
So I think going was a waste of time for me.
I have no personal experience with PIP assessments but from what I've read on here, it sounds like they really need to take a good look at the whole process.
