Positive PIP Review Result

I had my PIP review assessment at the beginning of May. The assessor was absolutely lovely, she really took her time with me to help me understand what she was asking - I have complex hearing difficulties. My mum had to help relay some questions as there were a few words i didn't understand but i answered every question myself.
I was completely honest with her and told her how much I miss being in a workplace environment. She was empathetic. I also told her about volunteering online here at Scope.
Today I received my decision letter and will continue to receive enhanced rate on both components and will not be assessed again until 2029 - which I was really surprised about but relieved.
I think people need to share more of their positive experiences with PIP.

Hi @Ami2301 I am so pleased to hear this. Yes hopefully if people share their positive experiences others will not be so apprehensive about the process. I am waiting for my decision from the transfer from indefinite DLA to PIP. I will let you know how I get on.
