Hi everyone i hope everyone is well and doing ok................Well i had my medical! The lady was [removed] and from Atos. She seemed very nice my friend answered my buzzer and introduced herself. [removed] came and sat beside be on the sofa and explained what would happen, when i read my letter it said i had to have id but she didn't ask for any of that?. She went over my form and the questions and confirmed the problems i have and confirming what help i have at the moment. I explained that i would be undergoing another mastectomy on the 27th July. My hands where really bad today they look like i have been in a boxing match and i forgot to put on gloves! lol she noticed this and said she understood my problems she did ask if i could grip her fingers i said i couldn't close my hands or grip but i would give it a go she said it was ok and she didn't want to cause me any pain. She didn't ask me to walk or lift my arms or anything i did explain i have limited movement in my hands and right arm. She was actually quite nice so it was isn't as bad as i thought it would be! when she finishing up she explained that she would write up her report and i am a bit foggy what she said after that but she did say she would recommend that i was re assessed but would recommend a timescale of 3 years? does that mean she is going say yes i qualify for PIP? as i said i am a bit foggy of what else she said but she did say just with the problems of my hands alone means i am unable to function myself. I suppose i will have to wait until the dreaded brown envelope arrives so fingers crossed.

Hi everyone can anyone shed any light on my medical i am a bit foggy about everything the assessor said at the end she did say with the neuropathy in my hands its clear i need help and that she was recommending that i should be reassessed and she was advising 3 years? i dont really understand what she meant i am not currently on PIP or DLA so do you think she meant that she was going to recommend me for PIP? i know its difficult to comment on the info i have as i said i was pretty foggy due to all my meds. But i do clearly remember her saying she was going to recommend that i was reassessed for 3 years.
