Hope your doing well. I am in the process of pip assessment and has been working for the past 15 years and started having severe anxiety and depression after a bereavement a couple of years ago and had several long term sickness ...the doctors have provided me a record of all the sicknotes,meds,CBT etc. I have personally had to suffer for a couple of years because of the stigma of asking for financial help for this disability even after getting into 10s of thousands of pounds of dept from not being able to work and not get paid,reducing hours of work etc

Hi 👋 I’m suffering from anxiety and depression also panic attacks at time, it was really good to know that I might have a chance of claiming for PIP….. thanks for sharing your experiences and i hope 🤞 your successful with your claim for PIP.

[@sixkidssiany]

You explained everything I feel! You can get a subject access request to access your medical records that may help I have anxiety and depression too

[@emmafay9421]

Hey! I might do an update video tomorrow x

[@sixkidssiany]

@@emmafay9421 yes please!!x

[@billyjoul2673]

Good luck Emma I'm in the same position

[@marlenerichardson4429]

I applied for PIP and suffer with anxiety and depression. First application I got zero points. I appealed and got it. Please appeal if you need to because I did hear from a reliable source that many people fail first time round. I worked and still got it. Good luck x

[@HillbillyYEEHAA]

We all need a boss like yours. I know this is 2 years old, I hope you got the help you need.

[@adgeyuk9803]

You have to pay for your medical records if not they just give you a brief 1 sheet with some medical history on it. They do ring your doctor so make sure you see your doctor regularly and get everything on your form in record with your specific doctor who actually knows you, so when they ring your doctor can confirm everything they ask. Good luck I’m waiting for my assessment now 🤞

[@johnbarker924]

Good luck Emma I have add depression from 7 years. Old i am now 63 years old and just been awarded pip the top rate

[@Ali1986Koksal]

I suffer from chronic depression and social anxiety and I'm due a phone assessment on Thursday 4th November and I'm bricking it because all I'm hearing is that people are either having their money significantly reduced or completely stopped :/

[@emmafay9421]

How did it go?

[@godsangel6656]

I used to receive personal independence payments and unexplained they stopped my payments. Right before Christmas and my birthday. So I think the reason why personal independence payments stop was because I recently had a medical assessment done to see how I was going and there asked me questions and asked from scale 1-10 how I felt about my everyday basic things I needed to do. I will upload the paper work so you can see. So in the assessment I was asked about my ability to cook and clean. I mentioned food in the process only because I recently got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. So I have to watch my diet. I forgot to mention to the woman doing the assessment. The reason why I mentioned food was because I recently got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes so there fire it required healthy food for me. On the 19 Th of November I recently had a phone call from DWP in regards of personal independence payment and I just came from being hospitalised from the dangers of diabetes. I have uncontrolled diabetes due to my stress and confusion. I have been told by my Gp it’s impossible for me to work because of my diabetes. My risks are comma or losing a leg.

[@melindagallegan5093]

I am waiting on a health assessment which I have been told could take 6 months to a year to get an appointment. My primary issues are neck and lower back pain. I am getting bi weekly physiotherapy. I have been warned that things could take up to a year to settle and thus I might not even need the assessment at all. I have also been warned that stress can aggravate things especially my neck. Unfortunately my work coach was changed and she decided that she needs to badger me every week and only lead me to having full blown migraines and nights where I cannot sleep because of this. I know I am not as ill as other people, but I am so desperate for the job centre to give me time and space to actually deal with my health now that I feel going off full sick is the only way they will give me space to breath. I am also still pissed that my work coach says it’s policy to contact me once a week when I have had other work coaches who have contacted me every two weeks to once a month!

[@Grizzly_target]

I have agoraphobia and am currently applying for pip

[@marktalent5021]

Emma just don't give up about pip as they make u jump through hoops I went through the form cab I don't fill in forms I got cab my support worker was with me all the time Emma if u got support workers like me they would be able to put into words better than you or your fiancée can just saying

[@marktalent5021]

Just let me know how you get on with pip don't back down Emma even if you have to go pip tribunal don't give up Emma as Tory government want people like me and you give up on pip when we need it fight it all the way I did and won emma

[@marktalent5021]

Emma I been where you are I fought pip tribunal and I won my pip tribunal don't give up as this Tory government want you too easy don't go for a pip tribunal your GP medical records and if u got to see a cpn etc get that evidence in definitely as I can tell you now with that evidence u having depression u get pip

[@fwabbasrichmond781]

It's been 6 months since I've applied, 3 months since I got a form to fill out and I have heard nothing since. I would really appreciate it if they reassured just by messaging saying its still being looked at. I have autism and I come from a low income family so I can't really afford to get things to help calm me, or private transport to college and I can't balance a job and an education. I don't know what to, I feel trapped in my own home.

[@Sameoldfitup]

Did you get it?

[@peterevans3504]

P I p is one if not the worse benifit to try to get. I had to take 3 health professionals plus a debt advisor with me to my assessment just to prove I need help with health and also my budget skills. It's impossible to get unless your hudini

[@mattiemclean9882]

you physically had to take heath professionals with you? I find that hard to believe

Hi Emma iam in the same thing as you are going through I applied in first day in June 2021 its my first time applying to pip

[@lindyknight5971]

I filled in the forms for my sister, she was awarded for her depression and anxiety, so she got her review and the award has been stopped, 😢 now the battle to get it back again

[@emmafay9421]

It's so unfair xx

[@beardsgirl]

Hi, I'm claiming for depression and anxiety aswell, can I just ask did your sister have to send proof and things to them? The only proof I have of my anxiety and depression is my medication so. Worried what my outcome will be

[@lindyknight5971]

She she sent her medical records as its shows she's had depression and anxiety long term, she had a letter from the doctor with a list of her meds she's on and the effects the meds have on her as well, she's still waiting to hear back on her renewal as she did put in a reconsideration, well I should say I wrote it, as she's not able to

[@lindyknight5971]

I should say it does not go on proof more that you have more needs of other and can't function normally, what you write in the boxes is more important then what evidence you send in,

[@emmafay9421]

@@beardsgirl I think it really depends on the assessor to be honest. My sister didn't send any proof at all and got standard daily living, then did mandatory reconsideration and got enhanced on both. I've sent in so much evidence and it's been a battle!

[@Starchaser63]

You don't request your medical records if applying for PIP. I have recently applied for PIP and awaiting the decision over the next few weeks. If they need to see them they can request it from your Doctor as that's how the process works.

[@emmafay9421]

For a successful claim, I recommend it. You'll soon realize if this is your first claim because they lie through their teeth.

[@Starchaser63]

@@emmafay9421 I've already had my decision and I got 2 points. I should have both recorded the meeting and asked what her qualifications were. Lots missed out, and results were so confusing and conflicting. Its so basic and looks like a 10 year old wrote the observation. 8m physically fit and healthy but my issues are psychological and social etc..I was recently diagnosed with Autism after being advised by multiple people for years to have a test for Autism..im writing to the address I was given but the lies and missed out information is borderline illegal or plain stupidity...

[@marktalent5021]

Emma I read if u get problems like alcohol misuse and depression anxiety etc u get more points definitely Emma your GP would give you a copy of your medical records as pip won't ask your GP that just your GPS being funny free off charge as my GPS when I rang them I didn't have to pay for my medical records and also my GPS went yeah certainly so u got told lies Emma by ur current GP

[@elcee84]
