ryandollie123

HI, I've put in for my first pip claim back in July,, I've struggled with mental health for a couple of years and had 3 informal admissions into mental hospital in the past year

They have done a paper based assessment and ive had a message today to say they hahave written report and they will write to me in 8 weeks

What are my chances of getting awarded please if anyone could help

Thanks

Hi @ryandollie123 and welcome to the community. It's impossible for us to say your chances of being awarded as everyone's application is unique. I understand it's a stressful time having to wait for a decision, do you have some support at home?

When you get the decision, if it's not what you wanted you can always ask for a Mandatory Reconsideration and then go on to Tribunal if needs be. It's a daunting prospect but we can support you the whole way through 😊 I had to go all the way to tribunal and personally found it the 'easiest' part as I was listened to by medical professionals.

Keep talking on here and let us know what we can do to help and we will.

I had my assessment today! Its was a Nurse, asked more questions about my work then condition really but always trying to catch you out on lies

ryandollie123

I Just know I have not had a assessment as they said there was enough medical records to do a paper based assessment

Then had the message today to say dwp have received my report and will write to me within 8 weeks

Thanks for the warm welcome

Donald1971

My report is already with DWP, 8 weeks for me too. Its a hit and miss. I definatley wont be putting myself through this again. If am succesful good if im not, then im not. Time will tell

ryandollie123

I Dont think I will be either as I've now waited since July and it's makes me so anxious

ryandollie123

Does anyone know if its better to have a paper based assessment?

Donald1971

I dont know…

Paper based assessments mean they had enough of information needed to write the report without needing an assessment. Many people are awarded after a paper based assessment but there are some who are not.

ryandollie123

Hopefully I will be awarded

Thank you

Donald1971

after my assessment within an hr a recieved a text from DWP. Just awaiting for their resultd in awarding me pip or not! Assessor are very sneaky in how they ask questions they try n catch you out! What got le why intrested in my work when i jefer was asked when completing initial form, strange so maybe that may effect my application or not

Donald1971

Donald1971

ryandollie123

I took the online pip test and ticked the answers what the pip assessment has ticked and that's what I've been scored

But not sure if dwp 100% go with the assesors decision

Donald1971

So you requested a copy of your pip assessment?

ryandollie123

I Did yes and I've compared my assessment to the pip online test

I had a paper based assessment

But I stil havnt received the final decision yet from dwp

Donald1971

Please be aware that the report is just a recommendation, it's not the decision letter. Although they mostly go with the report, it has been known for them to go against it.

Requesting the report does also cause a lot of increased anxiety, even if the report is in your favour. For this reason it maybe better not to request it and just wait for the decision.

ryandollie123

Yes I'm not getting my hopes up ,

Hopefully I get what it says

Donald1971

ok; thank u
