in PIP, DLA, and AA
my wife who had a f2f home assesment on the 3rd April 2018 has had a letter this morning from DWP saying that they now have a the information to decide if they award PIP ,they say that there is no need to contact them that they will write to her when they made a decision,my daughters gave a letter from her gp saying that she is severely disabled and the names of the oncologist on the PIP forms as well as her prescription forms ,she had inoperable cancer in the back passage and had chemo and radio ,but it left a hole in the vagina wall which lets in feaces into her vagina and a massive hernia the size of a melon ,she has to be showered at least three times a day and she also has a fistula which constantly leaks ,we've never heard of this letter before and are really panicking,please help to put our minds at rest
