Hi, my name is adele. My daughter has been on DLA but has had to apply for PIP

My daughter has been on DLA but has had to now apply for PIP. I put all the information in two months ago. Two weeks ago I had a phone call asking me if I could just answer a few questions to save my daughter having to come in for an assessment. She asked me some strange questions but only about 4 questions. I was on the phone for 7 minutes?! I haven’t heard anything since? Does anybody know why the phone all was so short and what this could mean? Thank you in advance

Sometimes it's possible to do a paper based assessment but they may need to ask a few questions before they can do this. If a paper based assessment has been completed the report will be returned to DWP and your daughter will not need to attend any assessment. If you put a mobile number down on the form you filled in once the report is returned they should text you to let you know it's been received.

Timescales after this for a decision is 2-12 weeks.

Thank you for that. I did put my mobile number down so I will wait for a text message then first.

If an assessment is needed then your daughter will be contacted.

Hello @adeles and welcome to the community, I hope you are having a nice weekend.

Sometimes the questions you get asked can seem quite random but more often than not there will be a purpose to asking it, mainly to establish the impact of a condition on daily living or mobility needs.

I have moved your discussion over to our PIP category which you might find it helpful to browse

This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m sure you’ll find it to be a positive outlet, feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 A few notable pages I’d recommend visiting would be:

The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.
