Kívánok mindenkinek boldog szép napot. A nevem Erika. Asperger-szindrómás felnőtt vagyok. A mozgásom károsodott. Ezért jelentkeztem a PIP-re. Ma kaptam ezt az üzenetet. "Köszönjük, hogy elküldte nekünk a "Hogyan érinti fogyatékossága" űrlapot. Előfordulhat, hogy döntésünk meghozatala előtt részt kell vennie egy egészségügyi szakemberrel. Ha igen, akkor újra felvesszük Önnel a kapcsolatot. Kérjük, hívjon minket, ha valamelyik az Ön által megadott adatok megváltoztak." Mi történik ezután? Mennyi ideig tart a fizetés? Nagyon szépen köszönöm előre is a segítséget!

Hi @XZaharaX Welcome to the community! 

We're a charity based in England and Wales, so we use English as our primary language here on the community. Is typing in English a possibility for you? 

I used Google Translate to translate your post, and I think it says the following:

I wish everyone a happy and beautiful day. My name is Erika. I am an adult with Asperger syndrome. My movement is impaired. That's why I applied for PIP. I received this message today. "Thank you for sending us the How Your Disability Affects You form. You may need to see a healthcare professional before we can make a decision. If so, we will get back to you. Please call us if any of the information you provided has changed ." What happens next? How long does the payment take? Thank you very much in advance for your help!

I've removed your surname from your post, as we don't allow personal details to be posted on the community.

In terms of your PIP claim, you may hear back from them to organise an assessment. This can take place face to face, on the phone, or by video call. They sometimes do a paper based assessment instead.

The assessments aren't done by the DWP. The assessor will send their report to the DWP. A decision maker from the DWP will then make a decision on what you should be awarded based on the report, and the evidence you provided in your forms.

It can take a little while to get an assessment unfortunately, but I hope it's not too long of a wait for you!

In this assessment, they'll ask you some questions about how your condition affects you, in line with the descriptors.

After the assessment, you'll then have to wait to receive a decision letter. This will outline what you've been awarded. If you're successful with your claim, the payment often arrives before the decision letter.

If your claim isn't successful, there are opportunities to challenge the decision.

Are you happy with the evidence you provided in your forms?

I hope that all makes sense! Please do let us know if there's anything you're still feeling unsure about.
