PIP assessment this week was created by 43djbrooks
Hi there, I have to see the PIP assessor on Thursday, I am diagnosed with asperger syndrome, diabetes, cervical spondolsys and I have 9 hours a week of support by direct payment, my anxiety levels are high and I am not sure if I will get the PIP. Any advice please?
Also do the assessors give a copy of their report at the consultation?
thx

It's not you conditions that determine whether you are eligible for a PIP award or not, but rather the affect they have on your daily activities.
I would have a read of our PIP Claim guide to see whether you meet the criteria for an award or not.

If you have more questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.

You will be able to request a copy of the assessment once it has been sent to DWP but the assessor will not be able to give one to you.
