PIP AR1 Just came.

Hi, I would like a little bit of advice from anyone a bit more advanced at this game than myself. I have been Ill now for about 6/7 years and I get the top Mobility PIP and Lower care. I am also in the long-term group for ESA. My home is fitted out with adoptions from my local authority who do all the checks with your medical record before they fit and I have a chairlift, wet room, Bed bars and bars at the front and back door to help me get in and also perching stools. My question is this. I am a worrier and don't want to bring all sorts of hell on myself so I ask you all now. I was going off to Scotland to visit family pre-Xmas at the start of November with my wife who is my carer and now I am scared the PIP people will contact me when I,m away to go have a face to face and then I miss it. I think to myself if I tell them I'm going they will play silly buggers with me and make life hard. I have read so many stories about how they can be. Any advice please, it would be gratefully received. Thanks Jim.

In the past I have just put Not Available (and the dates) in the extra Info box.- I think there is such a box at the end of the form.

Thanks Gordon, No its only for about 5 days then home but when I send my AR1 form back they may ring to tell me to come for a face to face and when that call comes I may be in Scotland and miss the call. So should I tell them I,m going or just take a chance they will ring again when i,m home?
