Didn’t have an assessment for pip review

manclass85

Hi, I’m new I’ve been stalking the site for about a week so I thought I’d finally ask

just wondering is it normal not to have an assessment for a review?

This is my second review after my first award in 2016. I had a review when I first applied. My award didn’t change after my first review. Again I didn’t have an assessment.

On Tuesday I received a text saying my review was complete and I should receive a decision in 2 weeks. Does this mean I had a paper based assessment. If so is this something I should worry about. I suffer from a mental health condition. Which is really affecting my sleep. Which is one of my main triggers for manic episodes.

But I just can’t stop thinking about it. Text said don’t call so I guess I have to just wait it out. Do have an appointment with psychiatrist on Monday, as I’m still under mental health team so hopefully it can help relieve some anxiety.

Thanks x

When it’s my review date they usually send out a form to ask if there are any changes. I don’t know if that’s what you mean? I don’t have a phone or face to face assessment but they do send something out for me to return.

Hi thanks for replying,
They sent me the review form to fill in. I returned that, and I haven’t had an assessment as in face to face or phone. But they said that my review was complete.

Thanks

You’ve had a paper based assessment. You will receive the decision letter within the next couple of weeks.

Is it well written pip applications that don't need an assessment or is it just random.

I didn't have a pip assesment on my first application back in march 2020 it was paper based. I basically copied and pasted for my review as nothing has changed does this mean I will have a paper based assesment again

Paper based assessments are rare. If there’s enough of information they will do the paper based assessment.

Even though you just copied everything from your last form there’s no guarantee you’ll have another paper based assessment.

That's wonderful news. Well done. How long ago did you send in your review form?

Thank you, they received my form October last year. But I had a texts from Jan saying they had my form. Last one stating was still processing was end of June. Then last week the text say the review was complete. Called this morning and he read my letter of award. Thankfully, my award was extended due to back log as well.

They received my review form and evidence last December, so hopefully not too much longer to wait for me. I’ve received two texts saying they’re still processing my form, last one was in July.

Is it ok to just copy out everything that is written on my previous MR form, when I receive my renewal form that is. I would have to change some wordings as I wrote about what I disagreed with from assessors report.
