Dotty dear, oh it so is what they rely on as you say, that's why I tailed my message with 'do not let them grind you down.' The traditional version of that advice includes your choice of rude description of them, I'll let you choose! Just don't stand for their nonsense!

I Had mine at the beginning of the week and I am so anxious and stressed over it! My appointment was over two hours long and Repetitive and I never had anyone to be with me. I am really worried I kept saying I don’t know I think to that question I said I don’t really and I walk and grin it with pain and Knee asked how far and I said the length of a corridor for Cab, Never said I stopped for a break and that weren’t true as I’ve gone into the chapel. I just feel so anxious and depressed over it. How long before you called them? Can I ask? I have so many health issues I know that doesn’t entitle you but my life is seriously highly impacted. I do not go out much. I take too many medications, I hope yours goes well. I have called them twice and it keeps just cutting out on me🙃 Have my fingers crossed for you as well, and in my prays🙏

Hi #boo#tas#
You can request a copy of your assessment report 48 hrs after it has taken place. Call the DWP - the report is a PA4

@denby
Each time I have been assessed for pip they reduced my mobility from high to standard and stated I could walk further than I said without having to stop due to pain, fatigue,muscle weekness and shortness of breath.
Its disgusting of them to go against what a claimant tells them and what we write on the form.
Its disgraceful that some assessors seem not to believe us even though we are the ones living with the disability and only we are the experts in what we can and cannot do.
Needless to say, I managed to get these decisions overturned at mr and regained higher rate mobility.

I called them 2 days after my assessment and got my report within a week. It actually reads quite sympathetically but who knows what the outcome will be.
I hope you feel a bit better and have had some good news
