Hi I received this email today. I am not understanding what it means please can someone help me.

Thank you again for contacting Paul Maynard's office. I have contacted the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to seek clarification with your PIP application on your behalf. The DWP has confirmed the information received from the Assessment Provider. A case manager (CM) has had sight of all the evidence. Based on the information held, the DWP have requested specialist advice, and the CM will progress the case on receipt. In the meantime, if you need help with anything else, please do not hesitate to contact Paul’s office again.

Thankyou

I am assuming you went to your MP regarding your claim. As he is an MP for Blackpool

Yes I did because he covers Cleveleys u c, I had to go to him. It has been going on for 8 months now

In summary it means the DWP have told your MP that they are still processing your claim.
