Pip review

cdf99

Hi everyone my pip is due to end in about 6 months. Just wondering what the review process is like I’m already starting to stress. How likely is it that it will be face to face or will it be more likely to be paper based or phone call.

Reviews have a shorter form but you will still need to make sure you treat it as a new claim. Most people have assessments which are mostly by telephone, some are face to face or video.

Hi,

Just wondering what evidence do you have to provide with the review. Am assuming its the same as the new claim. Can you also provide a diary? I am stressing too

You need to treat it as a new claim and send all relevant evidence to support your claim. The form is shorter but don't be fooled by that and do not just write "no change" even if there is no change.

Yes, you can write a diary if you want to. However, it's much better to include a couple of real world incidents of exactly what happened the last time you attempted each descriptor that applies to you. Adding detailed information such as where you were, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were.

I thought reviews were telephone or video. Are you on any immunosuppressants?

Most are telephone, whether it's first time claim or review. Some are still face to face and video.

Sorry Poppy instead of writing up my review form with my hands being bad. Can type up via my voice assisted software . Otherwise i will have to get assistance in writing up. Its like doing a dissertation!

That's exceptionally quick! Beats my quick timescale of 3 days way back in 2016 for a review decision after an assessment.

Yes I thought so to . Does it make a difference with how severe you are ? . The txt msg is normal tho right ?

The text is normal and correct. Nothing to worry about, as i advised on your other thread here. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/108662/pip-assessment#latest how severe your conditions are and having a decision quickly is irrelevant. It just means there were no backlogs and your decision was made quickly.
