PIP Assesment Recorded- CD, but can't listen to it myself was created by Vicky
Hello,
I have an MR due for my PIP claim which was rejected.
I had my assesment recorded by the assessor and they sent me the CD with the recording.
However, I am finding it difficult to write my statement let alone listen to that whole assesment, it gives me anxiety even thinking about it so don't think I can bring myself to listen to it.
For my MR, will it help my MR case be stronger if I have referred to the original recorded assesment?
Or will just written statements explaining why their report is wrong (and including medical evidence that backs up my statement be enough?)
Finally, does anyone know any organisations in real life apart from Citizens Advice who can help with going through the CD assesment if necessary?
Thanks in advance

Hi M
Have you contacted DWP and requested a copy of the assessors report?
If you have, go through the report (PA4) carefully with a highlighter highlighting any inaccuracies, especially if you cannot bare to listen the the CD.
The problem you have is that if you do not listen to the CD then you cannot say whether or not the CD matches the report, if you cannot listen to the report, are you able to ask a friend/family member to go through it?
The are other organisations apart from Citizen Advice, you can find your local Welfare Rights Organisation to help you with advice by clicking on the link below and putting in your post code, it will then come up with a MAP with a list of agencies. advicelocal.uk
