DLA to PIP F2F

My 1st post.
I am worried about a F2F.
Sorry this is a yukky question.
I have Crohn's Disease and following 2 surgeries I have short bowel syndrome leading to up to 22 trips a day to the bathroom with regular episodes of incontinence that IC Pants are no help for.
I also have COPD and Crohn's arthritis, GORD and esophageal leiomyoma and currently get high care and mobility on DLA.

If I go out I have to starve myself for up to 6 hours so I do not have any accidents.
This also helps COPD and GORD and the bowel stricture I have from surgery.
Starvation means I have no bloating or pain from the stricture or pressure on my diaphragm. I am generally so much better but with short bowel I am always hungry from malformation so concentration is not so good.

If I have to have a F2F should I starve and risk embarrassing myself or present myself as on a good day?
I am hoping they wont want to have anything to do with me and will pass me on with an ongoing award.......

Hi,

Welcome to Benefits and Work Forum

I cannot advise what to do regarding your problems !

However, you should make your PIP Assessment Provider (AP) aware of your limitations as early as possible in the PIP Assessment process and request a Home Assessment.

If you can obtain a letter from your G.P. supporting this, attach copy of that to the letter requesting the Home Assessment and include it with your PIP 2 Form.

If you have already returned your PIP 2 Form, you need to contact you PIP AP :

You could contact your PIP Assessment Provider (AP) (ATOS/Capita) by E-mail/Telephone :

Contact Capita.

Contact ATOS PIP (Top right of page)

If you are unsure who your PIP AP is, you can check : Here.

Just about to shut the door and leave for a F2F 40 miles away and Atos rang and cancelled. Anyone else get cancelled that late?

Having the most depressing day ever, from the moment I opened my eyes to the news of Brexit.
The only good thing is that I got the next one just 16 miles away.

I am so sorry - but not surprised as this happens frequently
