PIP

Hello everyone.  I apologise for not being on here for quite a while but I have had various problems.  Because of deterioration in my physical & mental health I decided to contact the DWP to let them know & see if I can get more PIP.  Last week I had my Assessment which went a lot better than the previous one & the Assessor did everything as they should.  I contacted the DWP this morning to see if I could have a copy of the Assessors Report but they have not yet received it.  Apparently it can take 9 days to be scanned & put on my record.  The Advisor suggested I rang Friday or early next week for a copy.  This surprised me as the Assessor said it would be sent off that day after she had finished typing it.

    Sometimes it takes a few days to upload to the system, Sometimes the phone jockey cannot be bothered to process your request.

    Welcome back to the community @Annabelle26. Hopefully it'll be uploaded soon, but as CockneyRebel says, it can take time and there can be unforeseen delays.
    Have you got anything to distract you while you wait?

    It took three weeks for mine to be sent and it was only sent after the DWP requested it.

    HI,

    Being chosen for audit can also delay the process of the report being returned to DWP. If it has been chosen then there's no timescales how long it will be there for.
