which one?

You are right phrank, although it also applies that if the review results in an increased award you get it sooner.

Hello sixty six,

I can absolutely see where you are coming from on this one. However assessors nearly always ask if you have any pets, so it is likely to come out anyway.

If I was in your position I would disclose it in the form together with an explanation of how whilst you have the issues you do have you are also able to keep a pet. That way you know that the full picture is recorded in the file.

Hope this helps,
Catherine

Absolutely sixtysix. Put in all the help either you need or receive, whether the help is given by human or canine friend. So include the fact that you need assistance with the laundry and with encouragement to get up in the morning. I think I would also put something like 'her personality makes her a natural assistance dog'.

Although you say that you find the diary easier, you do write very clear posts here, so don't underestimate your abilities. I see that you won your last PIP award at MR so you know the drill! If you still have that submission you might wish to make sure that everything which was in it is in your current submission (if it still applies).

I wish you success in preparing your submission, and a tasty bone for Tilly She clearly deserves it.
