PIP home assessment, will this be used against me?

jnl

I have just had my home assessment this morning for moving from DLA to PIP. I have Chronic fatigue syndrome and depression. I think I have messed it up big time. My daughter was with because I get very confused, after the first couple of questions I asked my daughter to leave the room as I felt I wasn’t getting a chance to speak for myself plus I found it very hard to be completely honest in front of her. I’m really worried in case it goes against me!

Hi,

That's impossible to answer, i'm afraid. If you live in the UK then ring DWP at the end of next week to request 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 report. Good luck.

Hi @jnl, well done on getting through your assessment, I hope you're not suffering too much now.

It's impossible to predict what your outcome may be. The waiting time can be difficult, but try not to worry and focus on your health instead if you can. Fingers crossed for an outcome as soon as possible. If we can be of any assistance in the meantime, just let us know!

From my experience of the PIP assessments (all 3 of them) I went into the assessment room ready to do battle on my own leaving my wife out in reception.

All three assessments resulted in 0 points!

Hi all, I received a text message a few days ago to say the powers that be have received my assessment. As I live in NI I can’t phone to find out their decision.

No one anywhere can find out the decision until it's made. In the UK they'll send a copy of the assessment report, when requested but this is only a recommendation and not a decision. Hopefully it won't be too long and the decision will be made. Good luck.
