PIP

I’m considering making a PIP claim as I have had to reduce from f/t to p/t (working every other day) due to fatigue. I have some good evidence of my fatigue and anxiety from the consultant’s letters over the last 4 years. I hate the thought of the face to face assessment. Do they always do a face to face appointment or might my written evidence suffice? Thanks

Hi @ollie123 a face 2 face is not always required. Use your local Citizns advice, for PIP they have specialists to help that may require you to make an appointment.

Hi @ollie123, I have had to do the same as you, got from FT to PT. I did an application before this happened as I wanted to see if I could get support. However, in a face-to-face it was a flat 'no'. I think it was based on my mobility. Nothing to lose by applying. However, during this current crisis, don't expect it to be a speedy process. Good luck!
