Bipolar Mean Average Award For PIP

Mental health

This is my first post

My friend with Bipolar 1 is waiting for the result of her paper based assessment, thePIP people within the next three weeks

Having read the way in which PIP is operating I’m preparing for my friend to go right through to the Tribunal

The government and most websites will say that (irrrespective of the condition) that it is individuals not the condition which is been assessed. However, I would assume that there is some sort of medium figure out there about the number of points those with bipolar are likely to receive

One also has to consider the success rate if it goes as far as the Tribunal. At the momen the success rate at the Tribunal is running at 69 percent for all cases. Any idea what it might be for Bipolar

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate you need 12 points for enhanced rate.  You scored 11 for DLC did you take it to MR and Tribunal considering you had a few points to play with
