Got a decision but how & what info they used

Harp

Today I got the decision for PIP which is the enhanced in both sections. But I think they used old medical record to come to that decision. They didn't seamed used the form to get the info.

On my medical record my diagnosis is the few sight problems and speech and language issues, balance and coordination issues. I didn't get no points for communication and no points for socializing which I have issues with. Those diagnoses was fine in the 70s where invisible disabilities was hidden away. My issues not change but society awareness have change.

Could they used the info from DLA I have?

You have been lucky, did you have a f2f assessment if not then you had a paper based assessment that has come out in your favour. Well done you I wouldn't worry about how they came to the decision, be grateful you where awarded enhanced in both categories.

It's standard procedure to fill out forms when applying for a new benefit, you're not just automatically transferred. They could have rang someone from your list of contacts as well as use your DLA file.

You have Enhanced for both and you can't get a higher award than that. Relax now it's all over, for now.

Harp

Thank you

I suppose I worry there there some come back where the info come from and how far back it was
