How long are people waiting to have their initial telephone consultations.
been waiting 11 weeks! Maybe I will sit tight because of the corona pandemic

oh ok, I just thought they might need to know but if you are saying it’s not calculated that way, then I won’t phone them.
So doesn't matter
You can work and still claim I understood
Amazing weather 😀
I will let you know about how my hearing went.
who is Adrian? And will he get in contact with me on here?
Hopefully after I have had the appeal hearing/during the appointment the judge will tell me the outcome
do you know of any other benefits etc I can get?
I had mine on Friday and mine lasted an hour and 25 mins , i used call recorder on my phone for a just in case (as I'm sure most of you have had the reports with lies) ,
Before the call I was hoping it would be quick like half an hour at the most , but she explained to me to give her time to type what I was telling her ,
It was all the normal questions and I made sure to list each descriptor and the problems I had the night before but I ended up not needing it ,
I listened to what she said at the end on the recording i done and she said "I have all I need plus as well we already have information from your current PIP (my telephone assessment was a review) ,
And she said "I can't see the DWP writing to your GP so I'll send this off now and they should have it all done in a week , I've written you a really good report , if your circumstances do change obviously your not going to have the surgery you need in the next 8 months to a year but if by miracle you do and you feel better just let them know , I wish you all the best take care"
She was lovelly lady but there is still a part of me that will think it might get refused ,
Honestly to all those who are worrying about it if it's coming up with you , you will find it a lot easier than a f2f , just make sure to include everything you feel during the day x
Air conditioned on wards
Will try and get through at 9 am tomorrow
At least I am now a statistic on those press conferences as I have been tested for covid.
If anyone hates pain it's not for them ...
When he got what can only be described as a meat skewer out of this tube, and promptly pushed up my nose an then it goes through your sinuses , it is very unpleasant , but pain doesn't really affect me. But it is very uncomfortable as you know the length of the skewer and you can only see the last two cm that is not up your nose.
They then repeat the procedure down your throat but that isn't so uncomfortable. I must admit a guy opposite me had been in my bay in hospital since Wednesday coming in through a and e . He hadn't been covid tested I found that a bit worrying as all patients admitted you would have thought should be tested. Especially as it's the biggest hospital in Birmingham with the biggest covid death rate.
I was hoping to have letter by know had phone assesment on may13
I keep checking bank to see if money is in but no luck
As for test hope you don't need. One
When did you apply for PIP?
i hope I don’t have to, I just checked online the phone lines open from 8 so maybe better trying the.
Next assessment November 2022 well happy with that too..
It's worth the hassle guys stick with it.
