2nd attempt at claiming pip, had telephone assessment on 25th April 2022 last week I had a standard letter saying they had all the info for the dm to make decision, no other info so rang up from what I understand the dm was not happy with the assessors report and sent it back and I should hear this week if I have been awarded anything. Has anyone got any ideas on this please

Hello there @Spud2022 and welcome to the community Thanks for joining and posting your query.
To help everyone find your post more easily, I've just moved it over into our PIP category and edited the title slightly.
Just so that I understand fully, when you say 2nd attempt do you mean Mandatory Reconsideration, or a whole new application?0 -
Hi thank you for your reply this is a new claim first one at tribunal0

It can happen but it's rare. It doesn't mean anything other than the report was returned.

I spoke with a lady at pip claims she was able to tell me my letter had been sent and I will receive standard payment for daily living higher rate for mobility.

How do you feel about that @Spud2022?0

Happy that finally they have realised that I need support0

I'm glad it's a positive result for you, hopefully now you can celebrate/relax this weekend0

It’s a relief, but a struggle which is not an acceptable place to be put in, 9 months of pain and not being believed is too much too bear0

Hi @Spud2022 it is a difficult process to go through, I know, and it does sometimes make you feel like you're having to 'prove yourself', which can be frustrating.
It's not that anyone didn't believe you, just that they were making sure they could understand what life is like for you day-to-day, and they've decided you're entitled to PIP as a result.
It's a shame that it takes so very long sometimes. You're not alone in feeling this way, so let us know if we can help support you with anything else0 -
Thank you for your support0
