It's only me,
this big brown envelope arrived this morning, my hubby had to open it as I'm just not able to open any mail at all due to anxiety of what it might contain, it was a copy of my assessment report. He had a quick look at it and thought it seemed pretty accurate, then handed it to me.
I must admit if the DWP go on what the doctor ticked, then it looks as if I should qualify for roughly the same as I was getting on DLA. She (the doctor) also wrote that a review is not recommended as my conditions are long standing and my functional restrictions are unlikely to improve significantly in the long term.
I'm not holding my breath as maybe the DWP won't take her word for it.
good luck! Glad it s not damning as many reports are!
I've never had an assessment report like that, maybe ATOS & the DWP just don't like me!!
But good luck and I hope you get what you expect.
Thank you TCake, it's nerve racking isn't it
well that sounds promising, good luck. xx
No surprise there Les, going on all your posts about the way you've been treated, which quite honestly I think is disgusting and in my opinion somewhat discriminatory.
Thank you Gill, but I did read somewhere that the decision maker often disagrees with the assessor, wo who knows 
They can, but a lot of the decision makers ignore all your evidence and just go by the assessers report but having the assessor on your side is a damn sight better than the assessor telling lies or playing your condition down like a lot of them do, i think it will be fine. you'll get what you hope for.

Good luck Sukes... hope you get your answer soon.
My report was so accurate, it was a really good one. The assesor recommended a review in 3 years but the DWP have gave me 5 years. So it can work both ways.
Hi sukes
glad your report was good, you're the same as me now hoping they will go with what the assessor recommended. I still haven't heard after 7 weeks.
Hope it all goes well for you
I don't think I wanna see my report I'm abit worried what was written and if it's not what I said I'm gonna be worried I haven't scored anything. I think il rather just wait for the letter.
7 weeks, oh my goodness such awful stress I really hope you hear soon xx
How long did you have to wait for your reward letter?
I can undertsarnd what you mean, nothing is definite.
I hope it all turns out OK for you xx
I don't think I can relax until I find out xx
It's a relief to know I'm going through the same situtation with PIP as other people so it puts me at ease abit
I know what you mean, it doesn't make you feel that you're on you own with it.
I sent for my report so that if it was a bad one, I could try and prepare for a re-consideration or whatever they call it, I believe we have 28 days to ask for it to be looked at again and some people were saying that the report took ages to arrive.
Hiya... I only waited 10 working days .I got the text to say I was entitled. So rang and found out. I got letter couple of days later. I requested my report before the decision, an received that with 3/4 days.
Thankfully my wait wasn't long.... I couldn't of coped waiting as long as some have on here.
Good luck with yours x
Well it's been 9 weeks n still I haven't heard anything from the dwp about my pip...but I do still get it each month still as I one my appeal in January 2016...but only got it it until December 2016...but I didn't know then that I have had 2 strokes and had my main artery in my neck operated on to stop me having another stroke...so we shall see...I hate waiting but what can I do...but good look sakes x
PIP is not a benefit that is founded on a condition or a diagnosis. It's principle aim is to provide financial support for the extra costs that you incur directly due to a disability.
The DWP have two things to consider - what are the limitations/difficulties that you have that are caused by a disability and secondly what costs do you incur because of those limitations/difficulties.
As an example I have suffered from, amongst the many other things, erictile dysfunction since 2004. This has caused difficulties in my relationship as well as anxiety and depression for me.
Now you could say that that is a prime example for which DLA/PIP is set up for.
However, no, I have medication supplied by my GP that counters the physical defect which in turn has countered the emotional side. Clearly also there are no extra costs involved.Put simply medication has solved the issue to a greater extent.
So, that particular problem has never been disclosed to the DWP as it is not something that would affect a DLA/PIP claim.
