Reassessment

As my PIP is due for review I recently had to fill in the form for what had changed. Mostly it was the same, but I noted a few areas which were worse.

I have now received an appointment for an assessment next week.

Is there anything I need to know differently than last time. I am half expecting them to be there with the form from my original application and trying to catch me out like a shady lawyer in a court room drama.

I will be going with the same friend who took me last time, which is great.

Additionally, the timing on the court decision about mental illness is both good and bad, I have generalised anxiety disorder, but I won't be able to get good evidence in time for the assessment. I do have a reference to it, but it is mentioned on the recent letter from my pain consultant, I don't have anything specifically from my psychiatrist (because they are really bad at communication, basically). Will that letter suffice as evidence of my anxiety disorder?

Thanks Gordon

When I filled in the AR1 I didn't even mention my anxiety, as this wasn't being allowed, although I did note it on my PIP2.

Can I now raise it in the assessment, as in fact it is one of the things that has changed and for the worse.
