My PIP claim (ADHD, eczema, social anxiety)

With my anxiety /ASD/OCD I was originally given b for the going out- I appealed ( it was before the march change)- I argued for d but they gave me e in the end.

Hi Gordon, I'm afraid I'm confused again. I was asking if they'll use my anxiety to get out of awarding me descriptor f, I didn't mention wanting descriptor e in my last post.

Descriptor b is about needing only prompting to undertake a journey, that doesn't apply to me at all and I don't see how it's relevant.

I'm sorry to hear that Abby, my partner got the same (e) but since we applied after they changed it, that was the best we could hope for, especially when he "only" has severe anxiety and depression in their eyes, not a cognitive impairment.

Thank you Gordon, I understand now. I'll not include the anxiety part and only needing help to follow a route due to my cognitive impairment.

I visited my GP and therapist today, both said they would not provide letters. The GP said he'd do a print out of my conditions and medications and that would be sufficient, the rest was up to me to explain how the conditions affect me. I wasn't really happy with this outcome but I left it as he helped me with other things today. I can always try and a different GP I guess. Do you think an actual letter would help more than just the printout? My partner got two for his application, but we are registered at different surgeries.

My therapist was willing to fill in a prepared sheet which is better than nothing at least.

Thanks again, so much! I'll reply to this thread if I have further questions, but I think I can handle the others. I'll update when I next have an outcome on my claim.

Hi Gordon, thanks for your reply. I'm aware of what I'm writing on the form now, but I'm panicking about a F2F. Specifically if they ask me if I use a satnav.

Thanks.
