fridayfeeling38

It's just stressing me out more and more with this waiting game and the more I read about pip and other people's experience I get the feeling ill get a big fat no

Hi @fridayfeeling38
Unfortunately the waiting time can vary.

fridayfeeling38

Is there any point in ringing the Sep department

fridayfeeling38

Sorry dwp department

Ami2301

You can do

All you can ask is Has a decision been made yet? If not then check for an update again maybe next week if no luck.

I'm really hard of hearing ,,,last time got a friend to call and they would not ever listen they wanted to talk to me but my friend told them I can't hear and we communicate by written they just hung up the call which I found very rude

Ami2301

I'm deaf too, it took them ages to accept that my mum had to speak on my behalf, be persistent

Hello @fridayfeeling38 Sorry what has happened. I am partial deafness and have nominated a friend to help with my calls.

I found that often helps and then he can relay anything to me.

Also when I was in a mental health charity. Support worker did it. Which was great. Now trying to cope on my own. Even so still ask a friend to be nominated.

Could be a solution.

Hope that helps.

You need to be respected and treated right. Please take care
