@Yadnad my friend I really don't understand how you have come to this conclusions you've stated above?

But one thing is I can assure you they do sometimes get the decisions right, I know you feel you've been hard a hard done by the PIP process and the difficulty you've had with it,  I know it's not perfect but people do get it, as I've said to you in the past many times if you feel your decision was wrong fight for what is right, yes they do use your PIP 2 and medical evidence as you can see this one in my photo is this first page of 1 and I have another page full on the reverse of this page of justification of advice.

And its the case and they have done all the same in all my reviews for ESA and PIP etc. my PIP one is a great example of this in this photo.

Hey me again,so far I have been to disk and was helped with a MR letter...it’s been8 weeks and I’m still waiting...I’ve called and all I get is call back in a week or two...has anyone else had this?

There's no time scales to any decision. Backlogs is just one of the reasons a decision can be delayed. There would have been extra delays with Christmas and New year too.

Have you asked for a copy of the assessment report? This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be as they mostly go with the recommendations in there. Just look for the boxes with dots or ticks and use the PIP descriptors to add up the scores recommended.

Hi poppy,I’ve has the assessment report from my f2f which was all lies.i call them this morning and it’s still with the decision maker who it has been with since the 7th November with still no decision...so it’s just a waiting game I guess

Ah i see, looking back at your posts you're waiting for the MR decision. There's no timescales to this either. Only 18% of decision change at this stage and most people have to take it to Tribunal. If the decision remains the same then i'd advise you to do this and get some face to face advice from welfare rights or a law centre near you.

Thank you,wow only 18% that’s very little..I used to get it until January this year which I put in my MR letter,I didn’t appeal it then when I told a friend they told me to put in a new claim which I did then when that was turned down I went to disk for there help and advice in writing my MR and what to do if it’s turned down again...but it’s starting to take its toll on me now at it’s been since the 27th June

So sorry to hear this @Sheenarose1, I cannot imagine how frustrating this must be. Please do see if things can be done over textphone. Is there anyone who would be able support you through the assessment?
