PIP assessment via video

faraway_21

Hi All

So I applied to PIP over 9 weeks ago and today I have been given a video assessment date for next Wednesday. I’m worried not about how this whole thing will play out due to my hearing loss issue as I was hoping for a paper based assessment. If anyone with hearing loss had an assessment, are you able to let me know how it went?

Hi All, had my assessment just now.. lasted a painful 1 hour and 30 mins. I also had someone observe the call, a trainee which was super awkward. The assessor seemed reasonable and she agreed told me the descriptors that were relevant most to my condition which I agreed with. Let’s see what comes out of the report, I am mentally preparing myself for a MR.

@faraway_21 Well done for getting through it! Will be keeping everything crossed for you

Thanks @Hannah_Scope - hoping for the best. I’ve requested a copy of my report. I know it’s down to the DM but it will be interesting to see what the assessor thinks

I got my report through this morning, looks like I've been awarded 10 points for daily living and 10 points for mobility and the recommendation suggestions a 5 yr review. Really please with the overall report - the call centre agent advised DMs are currently taking 4 weeks to provide a decision but I am fully expecting 12 weeks

That’s brilliant news and must be a massive relief for you

Really pleased.. didn’t think I could claim anything for my hearing!

It is less about 'hearing' and more about how your 'hearing' affects you on a daily basis @faraway_21. Glad you are really pleased with the outcome
