Hi, thanks for suggesting contacting my GP for a letter regarding the stress the phone appointment will cause me., I sent my letter from my Doctor regarding my mental health and it cleary states that a phone interview would be detrimental to my mental health. i sent it by recorded next day delivery & the royal mail website stated that it had been delivered. within 24 hours i received a letter from the "independent Assessment services" it stated & I quote, ""we will endevor to complete a report based on information you have supplied & one of our Health Professional(sic) may contact you, however please be aware if this is not possible, we may still need to complete a telephone consultantion"" they have sent a copy of the evidence to PIP. i already stated that the exact same letter i sent had already been sent to PIP and ESA. Some of the things i supplied are personal and matters that i am comfortable telling people, but i did, so i now await their reply. i have also received a letter from my MP from the House of commons, informing me that she has contacted Emma Haddad, director general for service excellence at DWP asking to address the issue I raised.

JUST AN UPDATE, MY pip telephone Assessment, was due today at 1.15pm underneath it says it may be delayed by up to 30 minutes. it is now 2pm. id had to drink a litre of vodka and 5 valium just to be able to take the call but still not heard from them. I have not slept all weekend and am physically and mentally burnt out due to the stress, They cant keep doing this to people. Ive even lent them a letter from my Doctor clearly stating i suffer from severe anxiety disorder and depression, unforgiveable and putting me in a very very dark place mentally

Hi DYLANC

I'm hoping that the call finally came through to you and you managed to get through the assessment.

Dear DYLANC, just want to say I am thinking of you tonight after the terrible way you have been treated.
Please please try to tell both your GP and your MP about the litre of vodka and the 5 valium as I feel this is dangerous, and so sad you felt forced to go to such an extreme. And about the late start or whatever happened today
Please do message the forum again to let us know how you are,
Denby
