My assessment report was submitted on 05/11, I haven’t been waiting long. Afraid to ring up and request a copy as it will make my angst worse

Thanks for the reply @mariaaaa123 mine was received on the 11th I have received my report and going of assessor report I have standard for both elements
but we shall see
hopefully we’re all not waiting to long

mariaaaa123

Did you ring up and request yours? Maybe I should do the same, I have no idea if I will get it this time around or not. I did get a second phone call before my assessment report had been processed to ask further questions. I hope so, seems like such a long process although not as long in comparison to some it seems

Yes requested mine on the Friday and received it the Wednesday so only waited 3 working days for it to come
however the decision maker doesn’t always go with the report so suppose I will just have to wait an see ?
the wait is awfull isn’t it @mariaaaa123

mariaaaa123

I might do that tomorrow! I feel like there’s so many things I should have said on the phone for the assessment but I think it was the nerves and it being a touchy subject I find hard to talk about got the better of me and I missed loads of things that may have helped me! It is, I’d just like to know one way or the other and go from there. Yours seems promising though ??

Yes I felt like that after mine to be honest it Is horrible bringing everything to the surface also but I suppose it’s something we have to do
try to think positive although it’s really hard and easier said than done
I do feel I should get enhanced daily living but again will have to wait an see @mariaaaa123

mariaaaa123

Hard to know how things went, the woman I had did seem nice and understanding on the phone but it is just a waiting game. I’m hoping to get standard, you can always go for mandatory reconsideration if you feel like you should be on enhanced. I haven’t saw many people on these forums with the same illness as me claiming so I’m not sure how it will be viewed

danixxx

I will be to scared for a MR to be honest it’s to much anxiety to go through it all again so probly will settle for standard if that is the case
yes the lady who done my assessment was very nice also

PIP isn’t awarded based on any diagnosis. It’s how those conditions affect you against the PIP descriptors. As we are all affected differently then it would be impossible to compare someone else to yourself.

How did you get on @ mariaaaa123

danixxx

Hi I was awarded pip they went with the assessor report they said my award letter been sent out and payment should receive that by next week so glad and relieved

mariaaaa123

Awk that’s great news, glad you got it! I still need to ring to see if I can get the report sent out, I’ve been meaning to do it

Its backdated to the date you rang today start you claim provided you had your conditions for at least 3 months.

Well done @danixxx

danixxx

Yes but when does the date finish is it the day the decision was made or ?

An thanks so much @Tori_Scope

danixxx

Sorry @poppy123456 it’s from 31/08
so is it up untill today’s date as that

poppy123456

If you mean the "cut off period" for your backdated money then i have no idea. You can ring DWP and they will tell you exactly how much money will be going into your bank. Your decision letter will also tell you what day you will receive your future payments, which is every 4 weeks.

danixxx

Is cut of usually the day the decision was made though ? @poppy123456

My backdated money went in on my normal pip payment date...I had no idea a decision had even been made, the decision letter arrived a day or two later and explained the breakdown of the monies paid.

Should add mine was backdated to the date I put on my claim form
