hello paraman and welcome
Have you asked for a copyof the assessment report ?
Have you asked for an MR ?
CR
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
What was your NHS paper trail like?
For example:
How much social care evidence did you supply?
Are your carers registered with your GP?
Have you had help from Adult Social Care - Personal Budgets?
Do you have a Care Plan via your Specialist Nurse or GP?
Did your informal or paid carers supply signed statements on how they help you with washing, dressing, cooking driving, pushing you in a wheelchair etc.,?
Did your GP supply a letter of support for PIP? [mine cost £13]
Any letters/reports from your OT, physio or NHS Wheelchair Services, or Community Rehab Team??
Do you have a history of falls documented?
Do you have rails, ramps, and a bath lift at home?
Incontinence Advisors assessment reports, pads delivered etc.,.?
Do have a list of aids, walking sticks, rollator, zimmer, bathlift, rise and recline chair etc.,.?
This is what the PIP assessor wants to see to tick those PIP boxes for your social care needs analysis.
