I know language is maybe an issue, but I so wish you could come back over, the care here for strokes/ACV etc is incredible. Don't know if you were on a ten year CdS, but if you are, maybe look at the options near your place xx

Do your research on the internet ahead of this. Every question is a loaded one, and you'll be scored on each answer. You have to park your pride and respond with all your answers being worse case scenario, and not you on a good day. They will lead you on conversations about how well you're doing, and talk encouragingly to you about this, but you'll lose points if you follow their lead. Again, and I really can't stress this enough, please research on how to answer, as your condition(s?) may well qualify on paper, but you need to answer correctly to get your point score or your application will be declined.

Have a good read of this. You might also need to brace yourself for going to appeal after they make their initial decision:

Oddly enough I've just phoned up and cancelled mine*. The malnutrition, sepsis and pneumonia after the chemo/radiotherapy royally fucked me. Still not completely recovered but much better than I was, I can actually walk about a bit now

* Or tried to. You can't do a change of circumstances online, and they wouldn't even take my word for it on the phone, they're going to send a form out.

Nicely done. My daughter did hers last week and was about two and a half hours. Good luck with the assessment.

Best of luck, but if you get refused get thee to Citizens Advice. They have (or had) a good record for overturning PIP refusals.

Hope you get the right result.

3 hours is ridiculous. It's almost as if the thinking is 'If you can survive this for 3 hours, you can go to work'.
