It can take up to 12 weeks between DWP reaching the assessment report and making a decision.

jamieleehill92 hi yes had phone assessment 10th Oct, got text to say they'd received it 21st October, and nothing since 😔 I asked for a copy of written report and my scores are identical to yours, which are wrong 😕😳,, so I don't hold out much hope tbh, let me know how u get on and I will keep u updated as well

To tag someone, you can put an @ before typing their username, so @Ollyoyster or @tori_scope for example I hope that makes sense! Let us know if you're still not sure how to do it.

@Ollyoyster yes keep us updated please and I'll keep you updated to. Dont try to count on how many points you get on the PIP test as that's just a rough guide. It all gos on what the case manager thinks and scores you on 😁. Fingers crossed for us both. I'll keep you updated on mine too. If you don't get enough points then you can always do a mandatory consideration 🙏 so don't stop fighting

The PIP self test isn't reliable unless you fully understand the PIP descriptors and what they mean, few people do so i wouldn't advise anyone to use it.

If you used the PIP self test to compare the dots in the report when you received it then that's different. Though the report is a recommendation only, they mostly go with it and it's rare for them to go against it but it can happen.

@poppy123456 ok

@poppy123456 @L_Volunteer hi so I got a text this morning saying We have awarded you PIP. We have sent you a decision letter explaining the award. Please allow 2 weeks to receive this. You only need to contact us if your circumstances change. I'm over the moon. 

poppy123456

Good news. That means they went against the report, which is rare.

jamieleehill92

@poppy123456 yeah I'm so lucky thank you so much for your help by the way. Hopefully I get backdated but I'm not sure when I made the claim. 

poppy123456

You will be owed money from the date you rang to start this new claim.
