@jamesmerrellofficial1: Replying to @Pam 🎥 Why Did They Ask What School I Went to at My PIP Assessment? 🎓🤔 It might sound like an odd question, especially when your older, but there is a reason behind it, and it’s not about judging your education. In this video, I explain why PIP assessors sometimes ask questions that feel out of place or even irrelevant , like where you went to school, even decades ago. These questions can be used to check memory, look at your cognitive baseline, or explore whether your difficulties have been lifelong or developed later. It’s important to understand that assessments aren’t just about ticking boxes , they’re often probing for consistency, context, or even just trying to open up the conversation. But don’t be caught off guard. Know your rights and know why you're being asked certain things. 📌 If you've ever been asked strange questions during your PIP assessment, let me know in the comments. 🎬 Watch the video for a breakdown and follow for more real talk on navigating the disability benefits system. #PIP #PersonalIndependencePayment #DisabilitySupport #DisabilityRights #DisabilityBenefits #DWP #MentalHealthSupport #ChronicIllnessSupport #InvisibleDisability #ChronicFatigue #PTSDRecovery #FibromyalgiaWarrior #OCDawareness #AnxietyDisorder #DepressionAwareness #CPTSD #AdultADHD #NeurodivergentVoices #BipolarDisorder #AutismAcceptance #LongTermConditions #UKBenefits #PIPAssessment #ClaimingPIP #PIPRenewal #DisabilityAwareness #ChronicPainLife #DisabledAndProud #PIPTips #DisabledVoices #ChronicIllnessWarrior #SupportNotStigma #HealthAssessment #DWPawareness #DisabilityAdvocate #SpoonieLife #DisabilityJustice #MentalHealthMatters #DisabilityCommunity #MEcfs #SupportForDisabled #ClaimPIP #DisabilityJourney #DisabilityClaim #BenefitsAdvice #BenefitSystem #UKDisability #DisabilityLife #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #DisabilitySupportUK #PIPApplication #DisabilityAdvocacy #MentalHealthStruggles #FibroFighter #MentalIllnessRecovery #LivingWithPTSD #DisabilityDaily #DisabilityLivingAllowance #LivingWithAnxiety #CFSawareness #PIPHelp #DisabilityRightsUK #DWPFightback #FightForBenefits #MentalHealthClaim #WhatIsPIP #PIPJourney #DisabilityDiaries #PIPQuestions #UnseenDisabilities #fyp

James if you are having a telephone assessment and have a lot of information written down in front of you should you make the assessor aware as they might think you’ve a good memory when you don’t.

I have just completed these forms and noticed they are aimed purely at physical conditions and not for sight loss. no yes this has a physical affect but I can walk. however, as you can imagine moving around is a little complex 🫣

I claim for my mental health, due to how severe it is I was kicked out of all but 3 core subjects and art due to such low attendance, I only have 4 GCSEs because I couldn't handle being in school. So makes sense to me..
