Pip Review Text

lillian2

Hi everyone, my partner has been on Pip all his life , now 66yrs , he has EO Alzhiemiers and Schizophrenia.

I sent his pip review form dwp sent him back October 2023.

Got a text today Sept 2024 to say pip review is now complete and letter will follow in post in 2 weeks.

No assesment, no ff or telephone assesment appointment.

Im worried they may of just stopped it.

Has anyone else had the same text with no assessment.

Im really worried for us he struggles terrible with Alzhiemiers.

Many thanks in advance .

To save worrying I'd advise calling up and asking what the decision is.

However it sounds like they had enough information to make a decision without the need for a medical, that's usually actually a very good sign.

But the only way to put your mind at rest is to ring the pip helpline.

Heya @lillian2 sometimes if the assessors feel there's enough information available to them, they'll do what's known as a "paper assessment" so I'd try not to worry too much. Though I know that's easier said than done.

Thankyou Nightcity for your prompt reply, i will ring and see if they will tell me over the phone.

Thankyou so much

Thankyou Albus-scope for your quick reply , i hope they have enough evidence , i sent plenty.

I was just concerned they had not asked for assesment.

Many thanks

No problem @lillian2 I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you both. Will you let us know how you get on please?

lillian2

Albus_scope , i will absolutely let you know , ive been on hold to them now one hour so i am guessing as its Friday afternoon i wont get through until Monday now.

But i will let you know

And thankyou so much for the goodluck wishes.

No problem @lillian2 I'm hoping you mean you'll stop trying to call and try again on Monday, or that may be quite a lot of time on hold. 😆
