I am aware this doesn't really indicate anything but I want to put my experience so far out there. 

Made claim 15th Feb. 
Assessment 24th May
DWP received report 26th May
Had no decision made yet text 9th June

It's just a waiting game now but the assessment went well and I'm hoping for a positive outcome.

    @amanda0211 I'm in the Midlands, not entirely sure if that makes any difference. Its definitely the not knowing that's the worst part but I'm preparing for the worst because then I suppose I can't be disappointed!

    @misszxo I'm in the same boat  I'm in the North East area tyne and Wear. I'm thinking the same it's agonising waiting to hear what the outcome is going to be xx
    It really is. If its not the outcome you wanted will you push for a MR? I applied back in 2019, got refused, went with MR, refused again, took to tribunal and won. I'd just rather not go through that because it made me ill with anxiety

    No I don't honestly think I would, my mental health wouldn't cope with how I am now and I'd be scared to put more stress and pressure on myself xx
    That's ashame because you deserve it. I'll keep everything crossed for you that you get awarded PIP. Please keep me updated here and I'll do the same.

    Hi hun hope your well, I've still not had any texts but I have received my assesors report ( I gave in and asked for it) by the looks of it on that form it looks like the assesor has recommended enhanced daily and standard mobility I was 2 points off enhanced mobility. Did you ask for a copy of your report xx
    Hello hun. That's great. Yes I did. The assessor also recommenced enhanced daily and standard mobility for myself. Fingers crossed we both get the outcome we deserve. 

    Still a waiting game of course but I'm really hoping I get an answer this coming week. Please keep me informed x

    It takes up to 24 hours for them to be able to see it on the system.
    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.

    She said to call at 9am for decision. But I'm so nervous I'm convinced it's bad news

    Wasn't the report suggesting Enhanced daily living and standard mobility? As i advised, it's very rare they go against it (though it can happen). If the decision's been made and there's an award you may even receive a text message first thing in the morning.
    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.

    It was yes Poppy but I am a terrible overthinker and my brain always goes to negatives first. I probably won't sleep much tonight due to worry but I'm hoping for a positive outcome tomorrow. Thank you for all your advice thus far.

    I thought i read correctly. This is the issue when requesting the report before a decision is made. Anxiety sets in even if the report is good.
    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.

    Yeah I definitely think it has more cons than pros for requesting the report. Just hoping for a positive outcome tomorrow. Keeping everything crossed

    Just want to say thank you to you. I've seen you on many posts including mine advising people and it really means a lot to someone like me who was struggling with the anxiety of not knowing!
