Pip
Have just started the pip era and when I checked them out they hadn't even contacted my doctor! Since my complaint my doctor has been contacted and I have an appointment this week. How many other people have been treated this way I wonder ! Shocking

You could be making anything up on the PIP application. Even if someone sent in a load of evidence, that could be fake.
I didn't send in any evidence at all,because I didn't have any. I just thought they would contact my GP.
I am happy with the award I was given.
The DWP must have contacted my GP, or did they just take my word for it?
It doesn't make sense that I could be awarded just by having good knowledge of my condition by filling in the form and talking to the HCP about it.
Then, it's up to the claimant to describe in the PIP form and to the HCP about how your condition affects you. My GP doesn't get into about 'how my condition affects me', only I know that.
Which really is stupid as it is your condition that is preventing you doing certain things.
Its basically an on the day test if you pass you get PIP, fail and you have to go through a rigmarole to try and get what you deserve.
When I had my assessment the assessor had all the information I provided along with all the letters I sent in.
I would of thought that there was a procedure which they follow which ensures that they check all applications for authenticity.
