Hi, I received a message last week that I was getting a PIP assessment call today. It was out of the blue,because I applied for PIP in 2018 and got rejected. I don't understand why I had this assessment?
Heya @Kim8 and welcome to the community. That's a very odd message to receive. I'd be unable to answer I'm afraid, have you spoken to anyone from the DWP regarding this? Have you applied for any other benefits recently?
Hiya, I am on UC and I have been for a few years. I applied for PIP in 2018,but got rejected. I got the text message last week informing me that I would be receiving the call, I checked to make sure that it wasn't a scam, and it wasn't, it was an hour and a half phone call yesterday, and I asked the lady what it was about, and she said it was regarding my claim from 2018 🤷♀️ I don't understand why after 6 years?
Yes, depression and PTSD amongst other things. I will have a look at the 2019 change in law. Thank you 😊
I think Catherine may be right here @kim8 the DWP are going back and checking previous PIP applications, it may be that with the new ruling, you'd received enough points to be awarded PIP, but I can't say for definite of course. Fingers crossed though!
That would be amazing! Thank you all so much ❤️
The woman said that I would hear back in around 8 weeks, I was so exhausted after an hour and half of talking, that I didn't think to ask questions. I wish that I had now.
That's totally understandable @Kim8 especially if the call was out of the blue! Will you let us know how you get on please?
Of course I will and thank you again 😊
The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
