Hello @veronikalackova25 and welcome to the community

The ticks are probably what the assessor decided to answer for each of the questions they asked you in the assessment on the 23rd June.

Does that make sense, or can we help a bit more?

veronikalackova25

I don't understand nothing at all about the ticks how do I chcel how many point I have please can you help me with that

Hi @veronikalackova25 - have a look here: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/Global/PIP descriptors.pdf This will show you the assessor's recommendations if you check the ticks with the points in the pdf. You will still have to wait for your decision letter however.

Thank you so much for answering me the questions also I spoken with one of the advisors yesterday I called pip and ask for my decision they said that I have to wait another 2 weeks and my assessment was on the 23.07.2022 does any one know why is it take that long please

Decisions can take anywhere between 2-12 weeks sometimes longer.

Thank you so if the ticks are on every pages does it mean it's will be awarded or its not yet possible

poppy123456

No, it doesn't mean that, if ther ticks/dots are all in box A then that's zero points. You need to have a look at the report to see where the ticks or dots are against the descriptor. There will be acitivities/descriptors and underneath will be A/B/C etc etc, so a dot/tick in descriptor A for that activitiy would be zero points recommended.

You then need to compare where those dots are against the PIP descriptors to see what points are recommended. You can use this PIP self test and transfer where the dots are in the report and put them in this self test. At the end it will add up the possible points that are recommended. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/pip-test-form

Remember, the report is not the decision, it's a recommendation.

Thank you I just scored out the points and its come 13points for daily living and 14 points for mobility but I phone there this morning and ask them what does it meant and they said that the points doesn't mean nothing they can leave it like it is or they can change it for 0 points please I'm really nervous can anyone tell me if I have point on all pages can the manager of the decision change the point for 0 ?

The assessment report isn't the decision, it's a recommendation. They mostly go with the report but it has been known for them to go against it. This is one of the reasons why requesting the report isn't always a good idea because it causes even more anxiety.

All you can do is wait for the decision to be made. This can be anything up tp 12 weeks.

veronikalackova25

Thanks for answering 🙂 the questions.... and also if I have ticks on all pages mean the activities and down below the wrote justification for description choice
The claiment not report significant funcitional problems with this activity in their questionnaire or at consultation and there was no evidence to suggest otherwise ? Do if the asistor but me on all pages ticks why she wrote this that there are no evidence?

veronikalackova25

It's sound for me that I'm not will be awarded for the pip because she put me marks on all my pages about my activity but on the justification she put that there are no evidence but I'm still waiting for the decision I'm in stress now I don't know what to think about this copy of my report as she put me some marks what I did is counted out the score and its come to me 13 for daily living and 14 for mobility I think I would not me awarded if the wrote there no evidence so why she put me the ticks there I'm not understanding this

Unfortunately getting the report often causes greater anxiety than not having it. All you can do is wait for the decision.

If it’s first time claim and you’re not transferring from DLA then payment should be in your bank 3-5 working days after it’s paid to you.

veronikalackova25

Ok so I don't know why they said that the payment should be with me within next week 😞 ?

That would be within the timescale of 3-5 working days.
