edited December 2018 in PIP, DLA, and AA
I filled in my form for pip back in September. I was then told about an assessment but this was all done paper based. I asked for the assessors report and going by what they said it looks like 14 points for living and 12 for mobility. I then received a text from the dwp on the 31st of October telling me they have all they need to make a decision but still not heard anything how much more longer do you think I will have to wait

    As mine is a change in circumstances it was to ask when my health had got worse but all the information was on my assessment report I can't remember. It wasn't the dm who I spoke to but the person I did wrote down that it was on my report does this mean a decision is close

    Sounds like it, they may just needed a date, but the points you say you have means enhanced in both daily living and mobility, as your was a change in circumstances luckily you didn’t have to have a F2F acessment like most do. Keep posting
