greyhound65

I have been on pip for nearly 8 years now I was sent a form to about have my condition got worse and different meds I might be on
how long does it take for a decision to be made and if I was unsuccessful what do you then

Hi there 

Did you get the full pip2 form 

Is your award due to end 

If it is a review it can take around 6 months to complete the whole process 

After the forms are sent there will be an assessment b4 it goes to decision maker 

If you are unsuccessful your payments will end but you can then appeal 

Hope this helps

My award was due to end but it was not the same form for a new claim

No it is a different form for a review than new claim 

Did the form have all the sections on asking if your condition had changed ? 

If so this is a review form but best advice is to complete it as if it is new claim and give as much detail about how you are affected by the descriptors

yes it does how long does it take for them to decide

Like I said it can take 6 months depends on backlogs 

You will get an appointment for an assessment next
