PIP QUERY

Hi everyone, my award review forms are with a case manager does it normally take much longer? they are doing a paper based assessment because I told them I will self harm if I have a phone assessment.
Replies
If your forms and evidence are with a decision maker it would suggest a paper based assessment
If you have not been contacted for an assessment
However it will friend if there is enough info for them to make a paper based
How do you know they are with case manager ?
Fingers crossed let us know how you get on
My last review was paper based but the DM did call me and asked a few questions before making the decision
I know that Ross has signposted you to these before, but I just wanted to remind you of the following resources:
- Mind: how can I help myself now?
- Samaritans: call 116 123, or email [email protected] (you don't have to be suicidal to get in touch with them)
- SHOUT: text SHOUT to 85258 if you prefer to speak over text
- Calm Harm app: an app designed to help you resist or manage the urge to self-harm
I've also sent you another check-in email, so please do take a look and let us know if there's anything more we can do to helpWant to tell us about your experience on the community? Talk to our chatbot here and let us know what you think
I didnt ask for paper based but due to my form being detailed and backed up with small amount of evidence they didnt need anything else
But mine is physical disability I am an amputee and vision impaired so they know there will be no change
Good luck anyway
