Hi all I have a phone assessment on the 27th January 2021, due to covid, I have hip osteoarthritis in both hips, and have done for the past six months, I thought because of the statement I gave the assessor over the phone I would get pip because of all the things I physically can't do no more, got my decision back got 0 points on everything, I can't drive because of my condition but apparently I drive an automatic car, I can cook but told my daughter does the cooking, told them I don't leave the house cause can't manage it, but apparently I do, I've put in appeal just to to wait and see what happens

Sorry to hear your claim wasnt successful
Ho9efulky the appeal will be if not you can take it to tribunal
Fingers crossed for you
So sorry to hear you were awarded no points.
I also have osteoarthritis in my feet hands and currently waiting on 2 knee replacements.Also a few other issues.
After my assessment I received 6 points for DL so no award, I was awarded standard mobility,
I sent some records from my doctor from the consultant at the hospital she also wrote a short letter.
My mobility was changed at MR stage to enhanced.
I was so grateful for it but felt I was due DL to so went to appeal.
My daughter sent in a letter stating everything she needs to do for me and how she felt I was coping or more not coping.
Sorry for long post I just hope your award is also changed.
Good luck and take care.
