edited January 2019 in PIP, DLA, and AA
I was awarded pip in December so decision maker clearly read everything the assor wrote down so why would I be sent a letter five months after the assent saying " in your assment you mentioned you were hospitalise" surely the descion maker saw what I said why wait five months to ask me ? I'm paranoid now as if what we are they going to ask me about after th Award has been giv n I was only in hospital for a day.

    Hi @Cameron1984

    Good Evening & Welcome ??

    I’m very very sorry to read about your current problems with your “pip assessment”

    I do think that we need some expert advice as this does I believe fall a long way outside of our remits!!!!!!!

    Don’t worry tough as we have got some “Benefit Advisors”

    These I believe are best placed in offering you “help/advice”

    I will forward your post onto them straightaway.

    They only help us out a few hours a week so please please come back to me “ASAP”

    Hi @BenefitsTrainingCo

    Can you please help me out with this post?

    Many thanks.

    The only reason that they are asking is that if you are in Hospital for more than 2 weeks you cannot claim PIP for the time you are Hospitalised but it will not affect you if you was only in for a day 
    It is only the DWP double checking in case they have overpaid you

    This is not correct. PIP stops after days of being in hospital not 2 weeks. This applies to those over the age of 18. https://www.turn2us.org.uk/Benefit-guides/Going-into-Hospital-and-benefits/Benefits-that-stop-being-paid-if-you-go-into-hospi

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
