I recently recieved a form to complete to review my pip. I sent that all off and months later have an a letter to saying...


Hello from Independent Assessment Services. We conduct Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments for the Department for Work and Pensions DWP. This is for information purposes only, to let you know that we are managing your PIP assessment. We will look at the available evidence and will contact you with an appointment if we need to have a consultation with you. You can find information about the service we provide at https://www.mypipassessment.co.uk. You do not need to contact us.

Is it likely I'll have to have an assessment. I have been through tribunal before when I have had a pip review... with it going in my favour.

My anxiety and mental health really gets effected at these times and the last time all this was going on I ended up being sectioned and put on a psych unit. I cant cope with it all

    Most people have assessments so you should expect one, which are mostly by telephone. Some are face to face or video. Paper based assessments are possible but rare.

    There are long delays with reviews for a lot of people.

    Hello @flutterbytinks, it sounds like this is all stressing you out quite a bit. You mentioned that the last time around your mental health really took a hit. Can I ask if you're still receiving the support you need and if the professionals around you aware of how much you're struggling?
