Fanks for watching!
You are such a lovely friend supporting her like you have! Good luck to your friend, I hope she gets the help she deserves 💚 I have had two assessments now and both were so traumatic. The stress of it had a massive Impact on my mental and physical health. I have another looming soon and am already having panic attacks, insomnia and even more ill health at the prospect of it. I feel the whole system is a form of mental terrorism. 😞
Rainie Daize thank you. Yes, it does seem to be mental torture. I wish you luck x
You should be proud of yourself your a true friend 👍🏽
You're one hell of a lovely lady and such a fantastic friend.
Thank you for your help and please ignore the trolls.
God bless! ❤
Paige Leigh aw shucks! Thank you 😊
going to accessment next week, very worried will make sure I tell them everything, have severe mental and physical, getting pressure from job centre and maximus who are supposed to help disabled people, I wish I could record it but don't have one I can only try my best will make sure I appeal this time, you are a terrific human being she's lucky to have someone like you on her side, I have to go on my own even the cab won't go with you, very helpful video, sorry for the bad comments you had you didn't deserve that people need to not judge until they've walked in your friends shoes for one day, god bless.
marcia jenkins bless you. Good luck for next week x
I suffer mental health myself and had to fight to get pip and just been through an ESA medical which thank God I passed and got placed into support hope your friend keeps up her fight x
Christine Newton Hi Christine. I've heard the ESA assessment is also notoriously tough, which doesn't help when someone is genuinely struggling. Thank you - will pass it on to my friend x
You are a lovely supportive friend ❤️
Thankyou I suffer with anxiety and depression I do not leave the house I had a pip assessment yesterday the lady was really good although I just wanted to leave during the interview was horrible it’s just a matter of waiting now.all the best for your friend x
goodgirlgonebad 2019 I don't think the assessments help people who already suffer with anxiety. Thank you x
Clara Sais definitely not
I’ve got schizophrenia and they skipped my pip assessment as they were happy with the evidence provided. Just waiting for the final decision now, I really hope it’s a good one!
thank-you
Hi.
I suffer with complex ptsd due to serious child sexual abuse when I was younger. I’ve just put s claim in for pip. I did try a few years ago and denied. I am doing intense therapy.
I hope your friend is ok, sending prayers xx
Megan Mila Rose thank you x
Understand completely how your friend feels with Mental Health and how the PIP claim all works, I myself have suffered with Anxiety/Panic Disorder and Depression for 12 yrs which has got worse over the yrs. The last 2 yrs have been terrible as I'm now Diagnosed with severe Agoraphobia as well. I cannot leave my house as with the Anxiety and Panic attacks are 24/7 and I cannot do anything in my home either. I had to fill in the form for pip and all the stupid questions that does not relate to what I'm suffering from and I have just lost my 1st Appeal and I have to go through the 2nd Appeal now which is even caused me more stress.
But you are defiantly 100% spot on with this disability and how it effects people as I can say its the same for myself... my home or my bed is like a jail.. yet the pip say my day to day life is not effected, I even had to give up my job 2 yrs ago due to this.. :(
I’m sorry to hear this :( you shouldn’t have to fight this so much
@@ClaraSais yes its terrible to treat people in this way especially when you have a liable claim, heart goes out to everyone else who are suffering..
you are a great friend
caz earle aw I hope so thanks ❤️
I suffer from anxiety disorder with panic attacks and depression the last 2 years am I able to get pips I'm unable the go in shopping centres or even play football anymore or do stuff Iike can't be around groups of people can't walk far without having one. Can I get it do u think
Declan O'Neill to be honest I really don’t know as I don’t make the rules! ;)
A certain question can be anxiety/depression provoking.... if asked this question you know what I mean
Hi I applied for PIP and when I saw all the questionaires I just couldn't answer all those questionaires because most of them where repeated, n my mind couldn't take it and i got so depressed it's a torture, when i am going through so many issues. I am struggling Financially n applied another credit but, again after giving them Dr, letter note etc.... they sent me another assessment letter n another questainair to fill it in n send it off, I have to ask my friend, because I just cant go through this I live alone with my son, n he too has anxiety n depression. Please could u advice me when I go for assessment as I am terrified.
Filomena Rodrigues hi - I'm no expert, but do you have a friend or family support worker to go with you or to help? I would advise talking to Citizens Advice. I don't think the PIP assessment is very kind to those people who suffer like yourself with anxiety.
I would take all letters and medication with you too
I've just found this too: websitewww.mentalhealthandmoneyadvice.org/en/
Seems to me if I tell them the truth u not going to get help . I've had depression on off the past 30 after the dead of my son . I can't get help from anywhere .I live on my own .Over time I've just shut out everyone.have no trust in anybody anymore .it's like thay make u feel like ur lie in ..I've been in my flat on my own5 weeks now no one to talk to . Not even make me cup tea ..I've aplyed for pip 3 times and been REFUSED each time . To keep applying is to stressfull
