Hi sadie1980 I have had both my assessments done at home. The 1st lady that came out was very nice and understanding very sympathetic. The 2nd one that came out in dec last year, was a right cow dotted the eyes crossed the teas, tried to trip me up on my answears. Not a nice lady in her attitude got the feeling she didnt believe anything I said my husband sat in with me, she kept telling him to go back to work. he took an hour off work to sit in with me. The 1st lady that cam didnt ask me to do anything like bend touch my toes put arms behind my back. The 2nd lady asked me to do things she watched my every move. They judge how you are whether your on edge ,calm stressed etc. Dont be fooled by them if possible have some one with you. my assessment took 1hr. I got more points with my 1st assessment than I did with my second. fibro with me has got worse since lasy year. so points should of been more or the same? Their report goes along in the dwp decideing whether we get it or not. From what got said to me and what was wrote in their decision I dont think they read the information that was sent in to the dwp. Their just out to get as many people off pip and other benefits as they can. Hope all goes well with your assessment let us know how it goes. take care gentle hugs
Is it normal to get a home visit ? I'm really worried about it to be honest ! Do I tell them what a bad day is like ?
Hi kaz
Did you get your benefit Hun ? Do u tell them about your bad days or just your daily activities? Sorry just don't no what to expect
Hi sadie I did get awarded pip, all she did was go through the answears that I had given on the form one by one, she asked about my other conditions. when I had last seen a dr. what medication I was taking if the meds were helping. she asked me to put my arms behind my back squeeze her fingers, she wanted me to touch my toes which I couldnt do and stand for as long as I could which I couldnt do.she bascically checked that what I wrote on the form was what I was telling her.my answears matched to what was on the form. Having trouble explaining brain in reverse today
. who ever comes out will be watching your every move and how you are.I was nervous stressed out and it showed I found it really stressful and ended up breaking down in tears. I hadnt slept the night before that didnt help. The assessor I had last year I felt I was on trial, and that I was a liar. Hope the person that comes out to you is better than the person I had.hope it all goes well for you hun.
Hi sadie she asked what I could and couldnt do, she asked about my bad days and not so bad days,
I asked for a home visit on both occassions. You either can have the assessment at home or at a centre. did you ask for a home visit.
Hi Sadie,
phone I'm not too late, but yes I got a home assessment for my pip. It was better than having to go out, less stressful, and I didn't ask for it they just did it. With assessments, be as if it's a bad day, and like that's normal for you, I was advised that if you say you have good days they penalise you.
Hope everything goes well for you.
It's not until the 28th so a few weeks yet lol thanks for the device though did you get your claim Hun xx
Yes, I did. Feel free to pm me if you like.
Thanks Hun I will
Sorry I can't do it not sure if it's because I'm on my phone could u pm me please xx
I declined home visit and its your right
Can I ask why and what happened?
Thanks x
I did pm you 😊👍🏻
I told them I didn't like people in my home, and that I wasn't comfortable.the reason being they visited my sister when she was on kidney dyalis and they watched her like a hall and as you could be aware your more comfortable in your home so she told the truth but didn't get any DLA at the time because they said she was able to move about and use toilet and was therefore able bodied, we appealed unfortunately she died before the date which she ironically won. Just too risky and I just refused for them to make me uncomfortable. Hope that helps
It's not threw Hun x
I'm so sorry to hear about your sister and the disgusting way she was treated. Sometimes I think should I even bother trying to claim pip as it's just hassle and stress isn't it. Did you mange to get it in the end
Huge gentle hugs
Yes, don't let yourself in doubt, I was going to give up at one polnt, but I realise that's a possible tactic, my first one was postponed because I had a stroke in 2014 and was getting all my dates muddled up. So they asked if they could obtain a copy of my doctors records, which I happily agreed to, that's when they wanted to visit at home. Yes I got enhanced rate for everyday and basic mobility. Do go and tell the truth and you will be fine, my doctor also gave me a couple of Valium to help me relax so good luck
