    Hi @euphoria75

    Good Evening & Welcome.

    I’m so sorry to hear about the lady who was going to assist you with your pip assessment.

    In the first instance do you have a local “CAB” they can be very very helpful in this situation????

    We have also got a “helpline” ourselves: 

    0808-800-3333 (Mon-Fri)

    Please please let me know if I can help/support you further????

    Hi

    Is there a local advocacy service near you? They are very good in situations like yours.
     
    Keep us informed.

    Best wishes
