Hi welcome to the community @bobbyb my name is Jaide commonly known as @durhamjaide2001 if you are wanting to know more about PIP then there's a whole section about it in this forum. Another good place to go for a distraction is the coffee lounge where we can have fun, catch up with fellow community members and have fun.

Hi and welcome to the community 

Yes thar sounds like you have had a paper based assessment the decision maker does sometimes call to ask a few questions b4 making the decision this is what happened to me on my last review 

bobbyb

Thank you can only hope so I did say did you say enhanced both and she said yes it was the mobile number that threw me but she did have all the info from dla onwards x

Hi @bobbyb and a warm welcome to our online community, how are you keeping?

This does sound legitimate, so well done on receiving the enhanced award for both components. I hope it helps make things easier financially.

Just to let you know, I've amended the title of your thread and moved it to our PIP, DLA and AA category to make it more visible to others.

Best wishes, and remember where we are should you need us again.

bobbyb

Thank you just can't believe it gonna ring up tomorrow and see if I get the answer I'm hoping for x

Phone numbers can be posted providing they're not your personal numbers.

Once a decision is made it can take up to 24 hours to show on the computer. If the decision was made on Saturday then i would expect it to show on the computer by now.

bobbyb

I no it’s driving me mad lol x

Technology hey? Supposed to help and you spend more time thinking "come on work!" or "hurry up" 

Keeping my fingers crossed @bobbyb🤞

bobbyb

thank you ringing them back again its bugging the life out of me x

bobbyb

Spoke to pip nothing on the system it's being looked in to did phone the number back and it went to answer phone just says hello I'm xxx I'm a nurse who works for the dwp so even more confused now as there is no record of it any where x

poppy123456

If it was a nurse then it will have been someone from the health assessment providers. I don't understand the "Enhanced for both" part because the HCP doesn't make decisions. Only a decision maker can do this.

bobbyb

i no thats what the case worker said at pip but theres no appointment on the system of the phone call its not even on record and she said they dont phone from mobile numbers or saturday she checked with the assesment teams and they said no appointment even booked yet x
