PIP Reconsideration

Dantheman

I have been successul with my reconsideration,for PIP.
However,I had a phone call from PIP,informing me that I had to go for another face-to-face assessment.
Has anyone else had to do this.

Hi @Dantheman

Welcome my friend it’s great to meet you this morning.

I am one of the Community Champion’s here at Scope.

Can I please pass your post onto a senior member of the team????

Hi @Adrian_Scope

Can you please offer me some help/advice with this pip post????

Face to face assessments were all suspended for 3 months.  That 3 months ends soon but I'd be very surprised if they were starting them again already instead of extending the suspension.

If you've only just been awarded through mandatory reconsideration I reckon the call was a mistake anyway.

Oh, I just thought - are you sure it was PIP that called, not ESA/UC instead?

Hi
Yes,I can confirm that he was from PIP.
He said that I would have to attend another face-to-face assesment,within the next 3 months.
To discuss my recondideration.

Hmm, that's very odd! 

I can't remember seeing anyone else asked to do that but hopefully another member can offer more useful advice.

Hi @Dantheman. Did they say what award you had at MR and how long for?

Dantheman

They have awarded me the exact same amount,that I was already on.
It was only awarded until September 2021,and not the normal length of time.
