Hi @dottydotty, have you considered appealing the decision instead of reapplying? I saw on a previous post that you'd requested your assessment report and found errors, so you might want to look into doing a mandatory reconsideration first. Let me know what you think and if you need any assistance with this.

Hi PippaaScope thankyou for your reply to my post , I have today sent a detailed letter outline the observation and recording errors ( not audio recording written ) ,I didn't criticise too much as I know that will not score points ,Also I have complained to Capita regarding the errors , Trouble is I reach 65 in August so time is not on my side ,as PIP is only kept after the age of 65 if the award still stands , If I get no joy from my RM I was wondering if I could just reapply for Pip. I believe tribunals are lengthy processes. I have got help from CAB they compiled my letter ,otherise it would have rambled on and on . . It is now a waiting game . If I do need any help thankyou will keep in touch .

PippaScope Still waiting decision reagarding my PIP RM . My assessors report repeatedly mentions anxiety , I believe the reason for this was to lessen my chances of scoring points ,, however now the Govt have stepped in and changed the ruling .do you think it might increase my chances of winning my reconsideration and getting my previous award reinstated .

Sorry to hear that you haven't heard back yet, @dottydotty!
With PIP, it's not so much the individual condition that affects your points, but rather how the condition affects you and your life. So in my eyes, reporting or using the word anxiety shouldn't have an impact on what you score, only how it affects you. Does that make sense? -
Hi dottydotty
If you have no award in payment then there is no waiting time to re apply for PIP.
However you should concentrate on your MR and appeal forthe time being.
As long as you reapply , if necessary, before you retirement age then you will still have the option to MR and appeal based on that claim even after 65

CockneyRebel thahankyou I realise the RM and Tribunal are the best way to go forward but , having been on DLA transferred to Pip successfully , then this last assessment award taken off me . I wondered if I could just reapply .Regarding my Anxiety my Assessor recorded I was in a2 happy mood and very relaxed ." No mention of the panic attack I had whist having the assessment .Along with numerous other discrepancies .

lillybelle Yes anxiety does has a profound effect on daily life , but I received only 2 points across all the descriptors . The assessor has recorded anxiety throughout my report . The decision maker wrote in her letter " I have changed the descriptor choices previously chosen " , I assume they mean the assessors choices , as the last pip form I filled in was in 2014 . Just find it very confusing .

CockneyRebel You answered a question for me regarding re apply for pip. My award was taken from me ,.I am still awaiting my MR decision . If I was to re apply now . would the RM affect any new Pip application , hinder / deter it ?
-
Appeal! Sometimes the initial assessment fails pretty much automatically it seems. A family member had a similar experience and will appeal...THIS time with help from someone who advocates regularly for losing applications. Wishing you the very best

mandyqks thankyou for the encouragement . I am finding the whole business so stressful just wondered if I should reapply . I will wait and see what my reconsideration decision letter says .

in first place waste time and effort if im honest but plod on you just might be one of the lucky ones

Def complain to capita re the assessor.. point out every discrepancy. You can apply for PIP straight away tbe man recon wont affect it. Send any complaints recorded delivery. 2nd class recorded delivery should cost under £1 and then you have the all important evidence - well at least 1 bit of it. Good luck.

maid08 Our ages do mean we don't have long to be messed around with tribunals etc . so thought I would just chance it with a new application, . after 65 it would be Attendance allowance and that has no mobility .so really wanted to get my award reinstated .

lainie1966 I am awaiting a repy from Capita , I have gone through the report and highlighted all the discrepancies etc . I might just send for the Pip application form ,then when I get my decision from Man Con I can decide what to do. At the moment I have nothing to lose .
