IS THIS A GENERIC PIP REVIEW MESSAGE

Hi all,

I’ve been sick with worry since I put in the papers for my first pip review. My mental health has got even worse because my whole experience with pip previously has been traumatic and scandalous with their lies & trickery, in so many ways. After 12 weeks today I received this. Is this generic or is it sent to when they have actually started reading it?

‘We still have your PIP form and will be progressing your review as soon as we can. You may still need an assessment with a health professional. Your PIP will continue to be paid until we review your claim. You only need to contact us if your circumstances change.’

    It’s a standard text and it means that PIP still have your form and it hasn’t yet been sent to the health assessment providers. I had a few of those texts throughout my review.

    As Poppy has said this is just a standard text 😊 You will get a few of these during the different stages of the application!

    I don’t know how I’m going to get through this. The Pip process sends me to some very dark places. They make you feel like a criminal under investigation, rather than someone struggling through life with multiple chronic conditions.
