Pip review

marielee

Hi, i hope someone can help me. I received a 10 year pip award in 2022. Yesterday i received a letter saying that i will be having a telephone review beginning of june but there was no form to fill in. Can anyone give me some advice about why this would be happening? Im in n.ireland. the letter is from standards assurance unit which i have never heard of.

Hello @marielee. It's my understanding that these reviews are done at random and aren't like a usual PIP review and you will have been chosen at random by statisticians. 

You can read a little more about what to expect here: Standards Assurance Unit review to check your benefit payment.

I just feel so worried. I struggle to speak on the phone. The letter also states i should have a list of my prescriptions and any healthcare workers that im with. I

Hi i had one of these its done by the performance measurement team they carry them out every year by random to check ur getting correct money etc it is just the same as a normal assessment to be honest try not to be too worried, i had to have one even though i was not due a review and not sure why but i had that one and then anither assessment by pip capita but it wasnt as long as the 1st assessment im currently waiting on the outcome good luck and as i said dont be too nervous just take ur time and speak truthfully if u struggle with phone calls u can ask if someone can soeak on ur behalf but u need to be with them and confirm ur identity xx
