Unfortunately, there's no email address for you to contact PIP. MR decision timescales are currently taking anything up to 12 weeks, sometimes longer. Once a decisions been made you will receive the decision letter.

In the meantime if you need to ring them do you have someone that can do this for you?

Hi ok thx I do have help thx. I Didn’t agree with what the decision maker said about me . It’s quite upsetting when someone disregards what you tell them on purpose and scores you two Marks of for each part, mobility & daily living,  and also lye about who I am it on report . Quite appalling behaviour for a company who is meant to help people with disabilities

Hi thx my claim for pip isn’t about my ear infection unfortunately it s about my foot condition I’ve had from birth congenital condition. I’ve asked Citezens advice for help which they have helped me with my  MR but I just wasn’t sure to ring as it says it all on my MR sheet . Just didn’t realise it take s this long as my working tax credit has come to hold, so I’m not earning anything at the moment. Didn’t want to claim another benefit until I heard back. As I didn’t want to loose my tax credits to, as I’m still employed I’m just not well at moment with my condition thx
