Hi,

It could be been the HCP from the health assessment providers that do the assessments. Although a phone call without letting you know before is unusual. Face to face assessments are suspended still so it's likely to be a telephone asssessment.

thanks poppy yes it seemed strange out of the blue my daughter is my full time carer who wasn't here at the time I feel like this is z start of all the worry n stress starting up again

I'm sorry this has caused you so much stress. It's always a risk putting in a change of circumstances, especially so close to winning a Tribunal. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and you'll be successfully awarded, Good luck.

I'm sorry you had an unexpected phone call that was upsetting @tara2019 When you aren't expecting something it can throw you off and unsettle you.  I hope you feel a bit calmer down (pop the kettle on and make a sweet cup of tea!).

It sounds like you are doing the right thing telling PIP about the change in your condition based on the deterioration in your mobility and the evidence you submitted is from good authorities.  Try not to worry too much over having to wait or getting knocked back, positive outcomes do happen and lets keep our fingers crossed you will have good news.

Thank you Cher it has really upset me they just kept asking about my car which I havent drove for over a yr i gave my car to my daughter who takes me to doctors etc and you would of thought they would read all letters ive sent in as evidence ?

You would! Maybe they are busy and didn't read it properly.  Try not to let it get to you because you have done nothing wrong.  Is it nice and sunny where you are?

tara2019

I'll try not to worry easier said than done lol and yes lovely weather im Sat in garden with my feet up

Hi @tara2019 Hope you are enjoying your sit out in the garden and a BBQ sounds like perfection on a day like this

Try not to worry about the call they may have just wanted to ask questions to see if they could just do a paper based assessment. Did they say who they were on the call ?

This happened to me when I had my review got unexpected call and it was the DM asked a few questions and decided on my award there and then.

But it sounds like they want you to have an assessment to get more information so you should get a date through at some stage

tara2019

Yes i think that call was what you had he said that word inconsistencies and end of call said he couldn't award me so an assessment will be done im just worring now my daughter will be here with me for telephone assessment thanks for the help 

janer1967

Yes that sounds like what it was . Hope you hear soon about the assessment 

tara2019
