Hi, everyone. Been really struggling with trying to do my PIP around tension headaches, brain fog, anxiety, you name it. I feel so stressed by it all because, whatever I write, I'm thinking about the negatives in terms of a decision outcome. Like... "What if they just don't read the mountains of paperwork evidence I'm sending in to support my form and just judge me on one not-well-thought-out answer I happened to give over the phone that satisfied some criteria to mark me down? What if all of this effort I am putting in is completed negated by one thing they took out of content to diminish my condition entirely? Do they even read through all of the evidence?" I am basically sending in a thick folder stacked with printed medical evidence that goes back years until current day. (It's not just MS I suffer from.) I am doing my form by post, because I wanted off-white paper as too much time on screens can hurt my eyes. But the irony is that I have now been spending weeks trying to figure out answers to the questions ON my computer, battling through an online PIP guidance course and the eye strain and headaches all of this has been causing me, all because I tried to fill out my answers on a blank practice form I printed and it caused too much hand pain. I have already had an extension date, and I didn't want someone else to fill out the form for me as I have been to Citizens Advice for help with form filling but the person I saw wrote in big, bubbly letters which limited the things I wanted to say. My own writing could fit twice as many words on a line as their writing. So I'm tackling this alone. But I'm now panicking because one of the people on the official PIP helpline said that the assessor doesn't even get sent the evidence, only the form, and he wasn't sure if I could attach my typed answers to the form on separate sheets of paper. Surely they would allow this if I explained my circumstances in terms of finding it easier to explain things and having hand pain? He offered to switch my application to doing it online, but having spent weeks gathering years of paperwork and making copies to post out to them, I didn't want all that hard work to be wasted. Have any of you sent in separate sheets to answer the questions on and was this okay? Hope everyone is having a better day than I am, sat here frowning at my laptop. XD From, A very panicked and tea-starved, screen-break-requiring individual.
