Took ill on phone during PIP review.

Yesterday halfway through my PIP review, I became very unwell and became distressed, the reviewer understood completely and they stopped the interview, as I had to rush off and hang up. They said that not to worry they would stop the recording! And then carry on at a later date. I didn't know it was being recorded. Has this happened to anyone else? If so how soon do they get back to you?

Yes, thank you. I honestly think the stress caused me to take ill, so I really wasn't wanting this to happen, because like you say, I'm having to go through it all again. Thank you for the advice I shall do that.

Hi Judy and I hope you are feeling somewhat better. If phone assessments cause you "Overwhelming Psychological Distress" [OPD] which it appears they do, if your GP will cooperate enough to write a letter to say so, you can submit this as evidence to back asking to have a paper based assessment, if you would prefer it. Given what happened it would be a reasonable request; I hope the assessor recorded fairly what happened to you.
NB I emphasized OPD as it is a DWP standard phrase, which should appear in a letter for best chance of getting paper-based granted.
best wishes, Denby
