I had my pip ftf last week, I was in a real state as I suffer from mental health problems as well as bronchial asthma, arthritis. proplapsed discs, curvature of the spine etc. the woman that did the interview was very abrupt and kept telling me to not go into as much detail as I was, she kept saying oh I carnt put that down etc, I also felt she was trying to trick me by twisting things I was saying, in the end I was in tears,, also her phone kept going off, she didn't want to see any of my hospital letters also. the whole thing lasted 2hours, she then got up and said normaly I wud ask if you have any questions, but I havnt got time and u will hear in 4 to 8 weeks, with that she was gone. after she went and I calmed down abit I realized that she hadn't asked half of the questions with regarding me going out etc. this is worrying me because surely I will miss out on points if she leaves certain questions out. all this is driving me mad with worry. I'm so worried about not getting my mobility as I live out in the sticks with no buses or shops nothing so I wud be completely cut off, I may add ive been on dla since I was 28 and I'm now 52 so hardly likely to get better. any help anyone can give , I wud be very grateful for.

PIP Decisions are currently takin 4-5 weeks.

You can request a copy of the assessment report by contacting the DWP office dealing with your claim.

A bad assessment does not mean a bad award, the report will give you a better idea of how your problems were viewed.
