How scary is a PIP appointment?

I have a meeting tomorrow to see whether I can claim PIP. I'm terrified. I know it is going to be a difficult meeting as technically I am not disabled but my health is really affecting my life. I am worried that not only am I wasting my time but theirs too!

I have heard from 1 other person who said that their person who interviewed then was really unfriendly and not helpful. I have just read through the booklet and thought they sounded okay and were non biased. Trouble is I keep thinking about what this person said.

What are your experiences especially if you are not disabled but needed it for health.

Just thought I would update, I think I have been awarded it! There is a large sum of money in my bank that suddenly appeared overnight. I haven't had a letter yet but the info in my bank says it a PIP payment.

I can't quite believe it at the moment, thankfully I have not had to appeal.
