PIP telephone appointment

Toho

Hi. I have a telephone appointment in September for my PIP. I am so afraid, and anxious about this. I'm shaking and it's not until next month. I don't know how I can handle this appointment. Is there anyone that could help me. Maybe assist with the call. My Autism just makes me fear about talking to new people. Please help with ideas.

  • Perhaps try to see the call from a less personal standpoint and view it from a more task focused role. Answer the questions as accurately as possible but try to leave the emotions behind. I know this is so much easier said than done. You never hear anyone say they love phone calls and can’t wait for the next one. Set yourself up somewhere comfortable before the call, get the things around you that bring you comfort. Do you have a close friend or family member who can help you at all?

    Thanks Autismman. I don't have anyone that could help me with the call. I have asked citizens advice about help. See what they say. Thanks
