I certainly hope F2F appointments will come back before next year when my PIP is due for reassessment as I can’t use the phone!
I think we are heading full lockdown in tier 4 it is nearly that anyway and with school return delayed only thing not in lockdown is people going to work
What about deaf or mute people? Are there text facilities?
Thanks if anyone can enlighten me.
Others have an appointee who acts on their behalf as well
Paper based can be requested but not many get granted
Do you know, if I appoint an appointee, whether they have to take over my finances? Or, can they just be an appointee to deal with DWP on the phone? I think I read somewhere that they need to take over the finances but can’t remember exactly. I manage my own finances online (with a family member having TPM to handle phone based stuff).
Thanks again
PS sorry for going off topic a bit
In case mentioned if claimant was totally deaf or mute what would happen?
Just asking out of interest
Now you mention it I’m pretty sure you have told me this before but I have a memory like a sieve.
Thanks everyone
Hopefully there is a solution to it all. Even more hopefully I won’t need a solution and all will be back to normal by 2022 when my PIP assessment is due, was just wondering out of curiosity mostly, but would be good to be armed with the information if anyone does have an answer
Thanks again everyone
My pip review was due January. I phoned in September to be told that award would be extended until October 21 and wouldn’t hear anything until June/July 21. Letter came through confirming this and two weeks later received pip review forms to be sent back by end November. Still haven’t heard regarding phone appointment or anything. Hope this helps.
Hope the review goes well, thanks for sharing.
