Hi any PIP awards that are due to end and the assessment hasnt taken place before the award end date are being extended by 6 months due to covid, so dont panic your money will not stop

Janer1967 after this telephone appointment I have about my PIP will not not take the DWP to make their decision because of the Covud Situation,fingers crossed my award at least gets extended,this uncertainty is making me ill

Rwbecca2020

Apologise for spelling I've lost my glasses lol 

janer1967

Once you have had your telephone assessment the report will go to DWP for them to make decision on what to award you this will then be your new award and you new award is what you will be paid for once decision is made

About 7 days after your assessment you can request a copy of the report this isnt the final decision but shows what the assessor has recommended

Janer1967 thank you so much for answering my questions I realley appreciate it,I am so glad I've found this page. This up coming telephone review is making my anxiety worse x

Rwbecca2020

Katho31 thanks very much,I wish this review process would just be finished Xxits making me I'll x

janer1967

Just tell it how it is
Give real examples of what happens when you try and do a task eg last time I prepared a meal I burnt myself 

Dont just say I cant do it say why , where, when, how tell of any support or prompting you need or any aids you use

It is also good to have copy of your form at hand to remind you of what you put 

Try not to worry it could be a while before it happens 

Rwbecca2020

Janer1967 thanks for the above advice,you have been realley helpful and I realley appreciate it Xx

Rwbecca2020

Thanks Mikehughescq for that information. I just wish the whole process was finished with its makes me unwell just st the thought. I am hoping they continue my award and I dont need to go through the appeal process.
