Just submitted my Pip form and medical evidence. Had help from a local charity who are fairly confident my award will stay the same as I have on DLA & they’re fairly confident is will be a paper based decision as the medical evidence I have is so good a f2f assessment wouldn’t gain much more evidence. Fingers crossed.

    I’ve never had to have a f2f for DLA or ESA didn’t even know I’d been put in support group until backdated payment went in and it was a odd amount and on different day so rang and was told I’d been placed in supper group and that was 4yrs ago so fingers crossed eh?

    @niknoo wishing you the best and good luck, and glad you got all that confidential info removed. Keep us up to speed how it's all going. I'm still waiting since I sent my ESA back on the 13th June hopefully PB too.

    Good luck, hopefully you have given them enough information to avoid a f to f assessment.

    Hi @Niknoo,

    Best of luck with your claim! It's good to know that you have since had some more information.

    Good luck with the face-to-face assessment! We have some useful information about the F2F stage of a PIP claim on our website which you might find helpful, along with the following video:

     I hope this helps!

    It's rare to have a paper based assessment. Good luck with your face 2 face and remember to answer all the questions with as much detail as possible, if you can.
