    You can contact PIP and ask them to send you a copy of the assessment report. If it's been returned they will send you a copy. Please do be aware that it's not the decision, it's a recommendation only. Requesting the report often causes more needless anxiety and isn't always the best idea to request it.

    Personal Independence Payment (PIP)

    Telephone: 0800 121 4433
    Textphone: 0800 121 4493
    Relay UK (if you cannot hear or speak on the phone): 18001 then 0800 121 4433
    British Sign Language (BSL) video relay service if you’re on a computer - find out how to use the service on mobile or tablet
    Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    You can try ringing PIP to ask for a decision maker to ring you so you can get your points accross to them. Other than that once a decision is made if you're not happy you can request the Mandatory Reconsideration. (MR)

    Hi @chele67 I know Turn2Us has a clear overview of the next steps if you would like to challenge the PIP decision, but you can only know exactly what your award is once you get the confirmation letter. 

    How did you find the assessment last week?

    Thankyou :)  The assessment was over an hour and she was friendly enough if not a bit patronising! she seemed to think i may get better! i said MS is a lifelong disability-which is why im worried what her report will be :(

    Yes contact PIP for the report, as i advised. Remember, it's a recommendation only. You can do this either before or after the decision is made, it's your decision.

    Do the MR in writing, there is a form you can use, give 'real  world examples' of how the condition effect you from day to day. Make sure you get Proof of Postage.
