Hello Miss Laura,
I am dreading it if I have to have a face to face assessment,all my benefits so far was just a paper assessment.I am scared they will lie or deliberately try to make out I am a fake.They make me feel undeserving and that I should be struggling,that they don't have to give me enough to live on that cos I don't work I should get by with a lot less.I emailed my MP and told him my fears,he said there are no plans to reduce benefits for those in the support group,which I am,it is just something that is always going to be hanging over us.After the transfer from DLA to PIP they will want to review my ESA and by 2022 we are all going to be switched to universal credit which will definitely be a lot less money.It is scary.

I am very depressed tonight,I always worry about benefits when I get low and depressed,it is a sure sign I am depressed when I obsess about benefits.That is part of the anxiety and depression.

I couldn't watch the film,my concentration was bad and I missed the first half hour,I couldn't switch off to focus on the telly.I feel very lonely tonight,I want company.I am worried all the time.

I still have the freezer to sort out so I will go and do that.I also have to wax my face get rid of the facial hair and go have a shower.
I am feeling so bad,it is just one of those nights I am usually better after a good sleep,so hopefully I will feel ok again in the morning.

I hope your PIP claim goes ok Miss Laura and that you don't have to have a face to face assessment.
