Social Anxiety - Engaging with others face to face

Hi Gordon,

Do I expand on this in my PIP review form, or in the assessment?

I was told by one charity that this also assesses your ability to socially engage with doctors.

I thought, what?

So if I have a medical problem, such as a broken leg, the fact I can engage with a doctor means I wouldn’t be able to score?

I would need someone with me to take me to the hospital and cope with the sensory pressures of A&E. It's likely that if I've broken my leg, I would need someone with me in the A&E room.

If the reason for visiting the doctor was private, I'd still need someone to support and take me to the appointment. They would probably offer encouragement and support.
