I'd like to start a thread about the minefield otherwise known as a PIP assessment - i thought the whole point is to help people feel better, not worse! #how to trigger people into meltdown by the very thing that is suppose to help prevent it!

I had my assesment the other day, I dont know how to explain myself properly that good nor do I always understand in context the intentions of certain questions and the whole experience made me feel worse about myself and later on that day had a panic attack due to being so confused around the whole conversation. good luck tho, your not on your own!
The PIP assessment is terrible. Don’t give up though. When I applied they gave me 1 point, with mandatory reconsideration they gave me 2 points…today I had my face to face tribunal. I got 18 points and won. I applied nearly 2 years ago. It takes ages to get to tribunal stage. Stick with it though. Over 70% of cases at tribunal stage win the appeal. If you do win, you’ll get a back pay dated from when you first applied which can be a very substantial amount.
I agree, it is a exhausting, frustrating process. I do hope you have taken time out to do something you enjoy? You deserve it after all that.
