DLA TO PIP STRESSED

[Rainbowpride]

Am going from DLA TO PIP its very stressful i got help with filing out the form and sent it away
the person that did my form said id be called into an interveiw where i must talk
this is stressing me out i keep having times at home where all i can think about this
i can ask my dr to give me a note saying the interview would be too stressful for me but i dont know if she will do that
Am getting very upset and unwell because am worrying about it
Am worried ill go there and say something wrong we will not get the PIP and we will have no money to keep our cats no money for food no money for internet and me and my husband split up because of the stress
i keep crying my husband s telling me not to worry about it but i cant stop worrying OCD thoughts arent helping am going over and over scenarios

Since those terms were not
familiar to me, I looked to see
what they are about.

Would it not be amazing, if OCD thoughts were of
positive outcomes?

Yeah, I hate form filling too. I have no idea what I'm entitled to and a lot of these forms are filled with jargon. Thankfully I had help from my care coordinator to fill out Employment Support Allowance forms.

I hope you get your PIP. I think you're entitled to take someone with you to the interview if that would help.

I have been in the situation you're in now. I know it is hugely stressful and seems to go on forever. My CPN says it's best always to tell the DWP the worst possible scenarios of your conditions and their effects, because although you may need less help on good days, it's so important that the money's there to help you on worse days.

About the interview...I didn't have one. They can make decisions without interviews in certain circumstances, so hopefully the same will be true for you. When you fill the forms, think of as many things as you can to prove your case.
I definitely think it would be worth asking your doctor to write a letter saying you can't interview. If they say no, you haven't lost anything, but if you don't ask...

Good luck and lots of optimistic thoughts for you. It's an unpleasant process but I hope you'll be ok [emoji4]

About 4 months ago they changed me from DLA to ESA, and told me I couldn't work (not for money anyway), I was like, eh?! I have a 2 and half page CV of over 20 years in the voluntary sector and you're telling me it's a complete waste of time because I can't work properly?! I strongly disagree with their decision, but to appeal is way too much hassle and stress.
