PIP, mental health and employed was created by DCR
I suffer with severe anxiety and depression, I've gone from lifetime DLA to 0 point on PIP. Whats going against me is that I work. Whilst I struggle to work I go because the alternative of sitting alone in the house all day will be detrimental to my mental health. I have my tribunal pending and I know they will tear me apart and question how I can go to work but I can't socialise, shop etc
Is anyone in the same situation who could give me some advice. i'm terrified at the thought of the tribunal

You will certainly have to explain how you manage at work! Do you interact with other staff or customers? If you do what is different about these interactions that is different from when asked to socialise or shop?
Is this the only PIP Activity you expect to score points for or are there others?

cheers for the reply Gordon, feels like i'm in front of the tribunal already
do you suffer from mental health and work? I was after people in the same boat as me who were going through what i go through and who can offer advice and empathy
