dee4848

Hello people, my mums pip ends 2021 , I understand they will be contacting her early january 2020. A couple questions to ask please , I understand that more people with mental health are qualifying for pip, will  my mum definitely get a f2f again for mental health ? And will her review definantly be in January has stated on her report letter? Thankyou.

Hello and welcome, your mum's review will most likely take place in the last 6 months of 2020 as most reviews are being done in this time frame, so start collecting information and evidence to support your review.

@wilko Thankyou so much for your prompt reply , oh that's new to us didnt know it was like 6months before it ends , Yes her CPN has done her a letter . How likely is it that she will need to have another f2f based on mental health ?

Hi @dee4848. Most people do need to have a f2f for reviews so it's likely your mum will as well. 

dee4848

@Adrian_Scope Thankyou.

Does the medical evidence need to be new  evidence and not previous evidence? Thankyou.

wilko

Your mum will most likely have a F2F assessment unless the evidence supplied is so overwhelming to do a paper based assessment.. All recent and new medical evidence is required plus you can could submit a summary of your mums medical history that was in the original PIP application thus showing continued health problems and the new information, evidence should help with the review.

@wilko Thankyou very much . Nothing has changed better or worse , just one of her many tablets have increased in dose

@wilko
So just to be sure , it ends january 2021, so it's more likely to be around june 2020 to be reviewed ?

Hi @dee4848. That's correct, they're being reviewed around 6 months in advance now.

@wilko hello, mums just got a supporting letter from her Advanced Nurse practitioner. He has wrote that he thinksshe would struggle with a face2face assessment,and that it would cause a great deal of distress to her. My question is would dwp take this seriously or would they just think well she has to have one,? Thankyou .

Most people have to attend face to face assessments, it's rare to have a paper based one. If there's enough of information then it's possible a paper based assessment could be done.

It's impossible to predict anything at this stage but my advice is to expect a face to face.

Hi will the supporting evidence be too old for mums review in 6 month's time, or should we ask for a new one nearer the 6months . Thankuou

poppy123456

It's within the 2 years they advise so all you can do is send it.

dee4848

We got it November 19 so will it be ok ?@poppy123456

poppy123456

That's very recently. All you can do is send it but most people have face to face assessments so she should expect one.

Hi , she is expecting a f2f , I was just asking if a 6 month old letter from her health profession will be in date. Thanks
