New application for PIP ( risk losing motability )

Afternoon all - I have my PIP face to face tomorrow at home, I'm dreading it. I don't thnk it's cut and dried as my conditions are numerous - yet I look well and I find this influences people. For example my consultant says whilst my body is coping with this, he wnt operate. My main problem is complications that arose from a perforated bowel - I have abdominal fistula which means I have 4 holes in my stomach and I wear two bags, I am also prone to infections and my bladder has been damaged, I am suffering from anxiety depression and PTSD. Is it ok if I write these things down using ne of your templates for the face to face or should I have sent that with the app. I just know I will forget to say things and I think written prompts would help me but would this go against me in any way.
Thank you

Hi WW,

Are you saying that you have information you did not include in the PIP2 form? If so, you should ask the assessor to look at it before s/he starts.

There is an assumption that the claimant will know how their illness affects them without needing to resort to notes. If you do need to refer to reminders, you should explain why - just tell them what you have told us.

I hope the assessment goes smoothly and the person doing it is one of the many who are fair and professional.

Thanks for reply - I did send all info with the original form Mrs.H, it's just I forget things and wanted something to prompt me.

Anyway all academic - the appointment was at home for 9am - they cancelled at 8.55. Annoying. Feel so fed up with it all, it's bad enough having a damaged bowel without this worry.

I'm afraid this is quite a common occurrence

Well had assessment - she was half hour late but at least it went ahead, she was very thorough and spent a lot of time on my medical history back to 1986! By the time we got to the actual questions I felt it was a bit rushed, she was nice enough and was here almost 3 hours, she had a laptop and typed constantly. She made me do some musco skeletal tests, some of which I refused.
I'm just not sure how it went to be honest,
Can they film the assessments, I just have this feeling it was filmed - not that that makes any difference to me but be interested to know.
I will let you know the outcome but they have said 4-6 weeks .
