Hi everyone
my wife just got her pip decision back and the report looks like it was done on someone else!
give you an example she doesn't need glasses !!!
she has a prescription for reading and distance
how do I contact the people who are taking this to court as another case with the amount of rubbish in the report might help all our cases
many thanks Wayne

DWP might have been looking at someone else's report as this has happened before. Phone DWP and ask them to check.

Please please let me know if I can help you further with this.
Many thanks.
Bear in mind that if some obvious confusion has occurred the likely outcome will be an invite to a further assessment.
So, first of all crack on with a mandatory reconsideration as that has a deadline attached. However, also lodge a complaint with the provider and evidence the points you make e.g. send in her script for glasses etc. Check out the DWP provider guidance online as there may be multiple breaches of that.
There was a case on here recently where the DWP did indeed base their decision on the wrong person's PIP report! The claimant phoned the DWP who checked and acknowledged their mistake. DWP then issued a revised decision based on the correct report without the claimant having to undergo a further assessment.
