Update for PIP

samfits99

My claim was suppose to be reviewed around September time but I’ve sent loads of information off and happy to say I’ve been awarded the same so I’m happy! I didn’t have a telephone assessment and don’t attend F2F assessments regardless of coronavirus. I don’t attend them full stop. I’m so happy been awarded 5 years again !!!! a decision maker did call me up to ask some questions, all sorted now. Can’t believe it ?

@katho31 I no I actually can’t believe it. !!! never known a decision maker to call you and he said that’s enough and told me I’ve been awarded the same amount and that I will get the letter in the post. ? still shocked tbh!

samfits99

@chiarieds thank you! still can’t believe it. 5 years he gave me as well. he sounded like a really nice guy. they did a paper based assessment “ as I sent new information off ect ect.

@samfits99 Great news for you, this is what happened to me though I got a higher award then I previously had I was so shocked and this was before the pandemic.

@janer1967 i thought they would of said because I part time I can’t get XYZ. If not I’m getting more !!!! it’s crazy. least I have it for 5 years now. so made up ?

samfits99

@Lou67 oh that’s good!! did you speak to a decision maker? how did you win your MR? 

Lou67

Hi no didn’t speak to a DM I just phoned up the day I got my award after assessment, put in for MR on phone then sent further evidence from doctor. 

Lulu_1949

@Lou67 what was the further evidence from Doctor if you don’t mind me asking? Xx

Lou67

Yes the doctor sent some records and a statement from the consultant at hospital, and results of xrays and things xx

woodbine

My wife's assessment was done last year in a ten minute phone call with a DM and he gave her the decision there and then.
But well done you @samfits99

samfits99

@woodbine thanks mate. appreciate it. didn’t no they can call and make a decision. is that because I sent further evidence off? 

samfits99

@woodbine because my review wasn’t till September time. So I’m so made up. do you think it’s because further evidence got sent off? or not. once again thank you.
