You've had a paper based assessment because there was enough of information already without the need for any assessment. This isn't a bad sign in my opinion and it's very very rare for someone to be refused with this.

Although the text advises you not to ring, you can ring PIP anytime to ask them what the decision is and they will tell you.

ella1992

I can't ring them yet I'm worrying ing so badly Mt worker filled it out she sent all information as I suffer with bdp depression and ainexty also I'm on waiting list for adhd and asuim 

ella1992

So can I ask if my pip is stopped will I get my payment due on 4th January wen I ring they r closed I fort they used open at 8 I can't wait 9 my ainexty is eating me up 😞

It's highly unlikely that you've been refused. I think i've only ever known this happen twice since i've been a member here and that's since 2017.

PIP helpline open at 9am, not 8. Other benefit helplines such as ESA/JSA and UC open at 8am.

OK could they have lowered my reward is my worry as I get the high daily living I'm going to ring in 15mins I can't keep still untill I no for my peace of mind

I don't know what your current award was before the review decision but yes it can be lowered, stay the same or be increased. Unlikely to stop completely with a paper based review.

Personal experience quite a few times with paper based assessments and the award has stayed the same.

Please be aware that when you ring they may not answer straight away.

ella1992

Will the atuo tell me how much I will get or is that wrong 

ella1992

She put me on hold I'm worried 😟 

ella1992

Hi all good news paper based assessment still the same high daily living till.2026 

poppy123456

That's great news but that award length is quite short. Are you also aware that if you think you should have been awarded for a longer period of time you can challenge just the award length. You will need to make sure you tell them that you're happy with the award itself but think you should have been awarded for longer and tell them the reasons why you think this. The first step to this is the Mandatory Reconsideration.

ella1992

My last award was 2019 to 2023 so not sure 

ella1992

I think its December 2026 so  that's 3 years ? 

poppy123456

It will depend on whether that's the end date or the review date. If it's the end date then your review will be anytime from December 2025.

ella1992

She just said my award is the same as last time and I'm award pip from 5th December 2023 till December 2026 but can't remember the date now my last pip was 2019 till May 2023 but covid extended it to kay 2024 so am confused 

ella1992

If it is 2025 il get my worker to call them up with me to do this as I get one month don't I but am pretty sure she said I'm award it till December 2026

That's great news @ella1992! And no need for an in person or call assessment! I hope it has eased your worry a little. 

ella1992

So iv spoken. With my worker she says just to leave my reward as itis to 3 years because iv not even had assessment she did say most of her clients only get 3 years  my worker said il always get pip shel just help Me again as it was her who done who the writing ect 

ella1992
