Are you on pip at the moment, it’s a joke , they have people’s lives in their hands...

Yup i've been claiming PIP for 3 years, even had my review last year. Never had any problems, with either of my claims. Award was increased last year and got given 3 years instead of 2. Mobility was increased to Enhanced, and assessment report was 100% truthful.

3

I'm on enhanced for both care and mobility for 10 years. After appeal. But was already in receipt of DLA then PIP since 2014.

4

I'm on High rate PIP for both and had absolutely no problems, was seen and assessed and informed 2 weeks later that I had been awarded them both.

I was on low rate DLA prior to change over.

3 year award.

Hi I’m on high rate pip , went to my assessment, the man was ok , I got a letter today saying, we had enough information so we will be intouch with your decision, did you get that before you get your final decision, thanks 

6

Yes I did and although I had sent in information with the forms there wasn't tons, I hope yours is successful for you.

7

How long did you wait after your letter to say they have all the information they need, thanks 

8

I had meeting then I got a text couple of days later, maybe 4/5 saying they had all info and then about 2 weeks after meeting I had the letter of award, so I didn't get letter I got text.

Thanks very much, fingers crossed

Hello LadyofStress, I am too old to be on PIP, I am looking for a place to pose a question to Denise, our really helpful member.  I hope that all is well, MaryLip

Hello Mary,

At the top of the page there's an area to click in blue that says "new discussion" if you click that you can then start a new discussion with your question. Give it a little title so it attracts others to read as well. Always happen to help anyone!

Thank you, Denise, I have posted it under COPD, I have so many ailments I thought I would use my latest diagnosis.

15

Did you post it in this group, benefits and allowances? I can't see any new post Mary.

16

Oh dear, Denise, I can't remember which section, I used, it is entitiled COPD as this is my latest diagnosis.  Sorry.

Thanks Alex, i messaged Mary via private message as really don't want to start looking at other groups on here lol. I only really have time for the forum and wouldn't leave you all biggrin xx

I think her question should have been posted on here because its more a benefits question than a health one isn't it.

Mary lip post in the benefit's section you will get better response
