2nd time applying for pip

jojowato

hello I’m new to this group I applied for pip last March 2023 and was declined so went to MR declined again went to tribunal declined again . I had evidence to support my assessment where I thought was wrong , statements from family and friends who help me . I relay on my now 15 yo daughter to wash my hair and style it so I thought I’d get the braids done which in theory should have took 4 hrs but took 9 due to me having to take breaks etc while on video call to the courts for my tribunal the lady noted my hair and said it looks nice blah blah and how long it took etc so I explained it all and said this was done so I don’t have to relay on my daughter my daughter who I should be caring for but she cares for me fast forward to July 2024 I re applied had my assessment booked in 12th sept with Maximus they said they called me 3 times which they didn’t so rearranged it for 14 Nov f2f day before I got a call asking if I can change to a telephone call , the lady was lovely and helpful got the report received text 1 hr after call ended , got my text 2 day ago to say they haven’t made a decision but will let me know when they have it’s been such a long journey for me from falling ill Oct 2022 and not been able to return to my job working full time in a busy hospital ward due to no immune system, my life used to be 100mph now It’s literally 1mph and at a young age it’s not helped with my anxiety and depression which I’ve just had my health assessment score done with covid 19 clinic 10/100 for overall health , 42/50 severe depression and anxiety I’ve called pip to update this on to my claim as when I applied I was awaiting an appointment with them .. had anybody else had same journey as me

Hi @jojowato, welcome to the community. I'm sorry to hear you've had such a difficult journey with your PIP, fingers crossed for a better result this time round. Many of our members have been through it all and are brilliant at providing advice if you ever need any. I hope they'll be along soon to share their experiences, but I just wanted to say hello and welcome anyway 😊
