DLA TO PIP questions

Hi..I have a rare problem with my neck/c spine in order to remove my rhabdomyscorma the doctor had to remove my c4 vertebra and my upper thoracic vertebrae (sorry about the spelling there) now I am the only person to have had this done and I was wondering if I should include a explanation of this ie ..the tumour placement was very rare the operation was a first ..that kind of thing ..would that be helpful and taken notice of ....??

Hi again it's been a while since I last posted ..been filling in the form for pip and photocopying it ect...posted it back recorded delivery last Wednesday...today Friday only just over a week later I get a letter saying I needed a face to face at a assement centre which is a joke in my opinion I can't drive or use public transport and every journey I make leaves me in agony...the journey to the centre work be 40 minutes each way and a 60 mile round trip...I have severe mobility issues and have done since my stroke in 85/86. I have no idea how I am getting to this assement ...I specifically requested a home visit stating my reasons including pain and fatigue and distress...I need someone with me at all times and any journey I make as to be carefully considered even hospital ones..if I ring them on Monday and re explain my situation do you think that they will grant me a home assement ??? I am truly at my worsens and feel myself slipping in to despair......Sorry to ask another question but do certain conditions require you to see a doctor I have had a stroke ..so would I see a doctor...or is that only a requirement for esa only ...sorry for all the questions but I have no one else to ask

Thankyou Gordon

I apologise if I have already submitted this post ...but I really can't remember so ..my question is do the dwp see your how your disability affects you form before or after it goes to atos...or do they only see the assessors report because that would worry me a lot ??? Would it be worth my while sending a copy if my form directly to the dwp..??? I also found out that there is a list of conditions where you should or should not be invited to a assessment centre...now most of my conditions ate on the tentative invite list ..so does that stand me in better stead of getting a home assement with a letter or fax from my g.p....They ask you what requirements you need for your assessment so I said at least 2 people trained and up to date in manual handling skills...as I fall all the time and cannot get up at all without being lifted..they have not adressed this at all which worries me a lot ...surely they have a duty of care and safety...under the reasonable adjustments could I insist upon this ......????? I have just been informed that a close familiy member who has a terminal illness is not supposed to make it through the week...if they don't will it be taken into account if I have to postpone my assement and how long will they give me to grieve and come to some sort of grips with it....this as just added to my stress,and anxiety any advice would be very welcome..sorry for the lengthy post
