PIP Paper Based for mental health

zain2471

First applied pip on the 21st Jan they sent out the form to me on 28th Jan 
They received it in March then Capita sent out a form to carer for more information which was the same as pip form  and I was told they were doing a paper based assessment I thn received a text again in May saying they've received my pip assesment report and they will write to me again once they've made a decision and told to wait 8 weeks and was told not to contact us

I have ocd anxiety social anxiety depression

Welcome to the community @zain2471  

Thank you for posting about your PIP experience so far. Fingers crossed you won't have to wait too long for the decision! Please do let us know how you get on. 

As you've mentioned living with OCD, anxiety, social anxiety, and depression, I was just wondering whether you feel as though you're receiving enough support to help you manage your mental health at the moment?

I've received my assesment report that I requested the assessor requested I need help for everything except for mobility part on second one which suggests walking and that I can walk but have pain whilst in walking  but on the planning and following journey it says I need help so I don't know yet how many points I've got yet can I request another report after the decision maker makes final decision?

Hello @zain2471 if you're unhappy with the outcome of your PIP application you can read information on how to challenge the decision on Turn2Us's website.

When you get the decision letter, this explains exactly how you've been awarded points.

Remember at this stage the report is a recommendation for the decision maker, so what they decide might be different.
