PIP claim successful thanks to Benefits and Work was created by learntorun
Would just like to say a big thank you to this site for all its unbelievable help it gives. I downloaded the pip modules and and various pip forms for guidance and this all paid off. I have been awarded standard rate for 2 years. I apparently missed out by one point for enhanced, due to not meeting the criteria "Needs prompting to be able to undertake any journey to avoid overwhelming psychological distress to the claimant. 4 points". I suffer from aggraphobia, anxiety and severe depression and have to have someone with me all the time and worded my answers based on your site. I received a phone call a few days later from DWP after my one and half hour assessment which was so stressful. The adviser asked me about undertaking a journey and I believe she worded it in such a way to make her decision against awarding me the relevant points. i am still happy with the result. I did not really not about PIP until I read this site. I am receiving ESA contributions in the support group.
Thank you again Benefits and Work

Hi Learntorun
I'm sorry that you missed out on enhanced by one point, but I'm pleased to hear that you are satisfied with your current award. I'm glad to hear that you found the information here so useful. The 'overwhelming' psychological distress is always hard to prove as there is no medical definition for it - so you are not the only one to be caught out by that.
I don't want to spoil your moment - but be aware that you will probably receive a review form a year from now.
