PIP Assessment

jo1984 · November 5

A question and bit of a rant. So I had a txt from pip/DWP nearly 3 weeks ago saying that a Health professional was looking at my claim, they would contact me with an appointment if they need to, this is the same message my friend got on the exact same day but with 24 hours she was given appointment for the week after so early last week but I have not had any appointments and it not like our claims are different, mostly the same sort of issue we are claiming for so I do not understand why I still not even had appointments yet. Not sure what is going on and should I ring up to check why I have not had appointments yet or see if they can make me appointment. And yes we live in same city and the same area so it not because of geography issues.

This sounds very frustrating @jo1984, i think giving them a call to check is a good idea as hopefully you'll be able to get some answers that way just so you have peace of mind😊

Question, should I ring PIP or the company that does the assessments.

PIP won't be able to help as they are waiting for the report from assessment agency.

So it's the assessment agency you need to contact.

Thank you @Kimi87. Just wanted to be sure that I was ringing the right place. Hopefully can get an update on when my appointment will be.
