Strange phone call from case manager

littleruthie123

Hi ive been waiting for 6 months on a review id asked for .assessment points were good .however on a review in 2016 they put my points down lower .I dident appeal as evidence was poor and tbhx dident have the fight in me .Had call from descision maker who kept quizzing me why dident I appeal last time .and am I worse now than in 2016 .I started panicking and said I was bad then too .I feel like she was trying too catch me out and is going too take my points down again now .said she doing it tomorrow but dident say the result. Feeling ive shot myself in the foot .will the timescale go against me .Feel so confused

For the life of me I do not understand what you did or didn't do in 2016 has any relevance to your current situation. Appealing or even asking for a MR is a personal choice and should play no part in deciding what points you should be awarded now.

littleruthie123

Yes I agree I really don't understand. Kept going on about my last review

When I got my assets report it showed all my evidence and some included all evidence from my last review .I really feel like this is whats happened and there made a bit of a mess of it all .all will be revealed I suppose tommorow .I feel so worried now .thought for once something would be fair

sounds to me you may
be one of the cas,s they are looking at that was not awarded correctly as posted by dwp 

littleruthie123

Oooo havent thought about that. Do u mean as I should of been awarded more last time?.She kept going on about the timescale from last review .Surely whatever happened then shouldn't effect the claim now I hope .I would of been revised in few months anyway  .don't see why it matters if I asked for the review

when my claim was knocked back i did mr and was given lower both out of the blue i had a call some four months after they had relooked at claim and had increased both to higher they kept on about time span then for cash owed but hy lets hope you are being checked as per dwp checking from 2016 claims

littleruthie123

The k you I got no points for my mental health this time or last time .even though I sent some evidence .I hope your right guys .I did day why are you asking me?.She just said we have too follow the rulrs whatever that means .

littleruthie123

Glad you got it I  the end @sweet.did they tell you at the phone call itself please..I don't no why they wouldent just say .written everything down they said still makes no sense lol 

littleruthie123

Rang them back as told it's normal for them too ask how long you've been feeling worse for?.Strange. Surely if you've asked for a review it shoukd be obvious why .confused.com

I was asked that exact question during my PIP review by a decision maker that rang me. I claim for physical disabilities and the question was related to the moving around part. Good luck with yours!

littleruthie123

littleruthie123

all i had was we are rechecking claim and increaseing it following review of claim so i assume they made a mistake realised it on looking and put it right

poppy123456

Yes it did, i went from standard to Enhanced mobility. I know it's a very anxious time waiting. I really hope for you that it's good news. Fingers crossed for you x

it is the mental health bit they now have to look at they ignored it on acessments now have to put it right so if you gave evidence and they ignored it it now is being looked at i presume

poppy123456

I agree with you @sweet that's most likely what they're looking at.
