Hi, I had my pip medical on the 1St october for Epilepsy with ongoing seizures, depression and anxiety. I asked for a copy of my report from dwp, on the points I've worked it out as 12 for daily life. 12 for mobility. Do dwp actually go off this?? Or do they look at and change the points? I rang earlier to see what was taking so long and they said I will have my decision on Wednesday.. Any advice or help would be great..
Thankyou
Natalie going by the way you worked out your points you should have a positive decision. Sorry apart from this can give you much advice, let us know how you get on wont you

I really hope so. Feel like ive been waiting ages, 18 weeks n soon to get my decision at last!! Thankyou. I will let you know how I get on next week xxx
Hi,
when.you say you worked out the points in what way did you do this? x
If you had assessment on 1st October that is 5 or 6 weeks. Not that long really I don't think.
They do have a lot of backlog work.
Not sure how you worked out your points but hope you are awarded pip.
Let me know how you get on

I asked for a copy of the Medical report, this has the answers the medical professional wrote down.. There's a pip self test on the Internet that gives you points so I've put in the answers off the medical report. It's 3 weeks in my area to hear anything so 6 weeks is quite a long time. Thankyou
I have a copy of my medical report from atos, theres a disability website on the net, I've put the answers from the medical into the pip self test and Thats the points that came out. Xx
Hi, i done this test before my assessment,,i scored 27pts for daily componet and 18pts for mobility......so after all the stress and worry my envelope arrived.......to find 12pts enchanced rate daily componet and 8pts low rate mobility......also what my decision maker said was not true......i know i should be happy with the outcome.....but why should theses people get away with this......also my carer appealed and explained on the phone why and what was said and done.....she asked for a back up letter and told us we had 4wks to do this.......so we got doc to send a letter direct to them.......but 3wks letter we got an other dicision in and nothing was changed......but the knew we were sending in back up letter.....theses people only see you once....something needs to be done....i wish you luck x let me know how you get on x
Did you get a copy of your medical report that atos wrote and sent to dwp? This is what I've worked mine out from! It's rubbish really isn't it! I hope your ok xxz
Thanks Natalie i looked up pip self test questionaire on the internet, certainly very helpfull. i would quote it hear but probably wont be allowed

I thought it was useful too, especially with having my medical infront of me with the answers atos had given me xx
Hi Nat you have lost me....is that the letter from the descision maker along with how my points were made up?and how and what am getting,,,,this is so bad what we have to go through.....and i think its just ur luck what you are awarded......i was on enchanced rate for over 3yrs and things changed......thats why i had to go through PIP.......am happy with the outcome.....but what the decision said about me were untrue.....theses people do not know us the way our doctors do.....anyay ho many points did you get Nat? keep ur chin up x
Sorry I haven't wrote it very clear have I lol. I had my medical on the 1St october, I received a letter on the 15th saying they had everything they needed now to make a decision on the claim. I rang dwp up on the 15th to ask for a copy of my medical report from atos, which has to be requested to the decision maker before a copy of it is sent out. I received my medical then used the pip self test online, I used the answers that the lady from atos had used, the points came out at 12 for daily life, and 12 for mobility.. I am yet to receive my decision.. Does this make sense? Xx
hi,dont know if things are done diffrently.....as i went for my medical then got the result,and my paperwork headin is about payments ....on other heading states how your decision as reached with points next to what i can and cant do......its the same layout pip sel test.....so have you got papers back yet?when you say you used the same as the lady rom atos had.......as when i went i didnt know what points i had until i got a letter.....sorry am slow taking things in x
If you ask dwp for a copy of your medical there is like 4 or 5 different answers that atos tick. On the pip self test you put the answers in, which I put the answers in from my medical report, then at the end it tells you how many points you'd get, sorry I'm not sure if I'm putting it right lol xx
I asked for a copy of my medical before a decision is made, just because I like to keep file of things otherwise I get stressed out xx
yeah i understand you now......you can let me know the outcome....am sure you will get the top rate for eveything ....take care x
Thankyou. Just hope dwp don't change the points to much from what atos gave me. Thankyou xx
yeah its just a worry...how many points did u get x
Atos gave me 12 for daily life 12 for mobility xx
