Pip assessment

Have just had f2f pip assessment and received a text message from DWP to say they have received the written report from assessor. Can I phone DWP to ask for a copy of the assessors written report before they send the dreaded decision out to me and can I do this straight away or do I need to wait a while before I can ask for it.

Hi I have now received my pip assessment copy. Would appreciate some help with the washing and bathing question the assessor reported all the information but I'm slightly confused as to the points I scored on this one as at the bottom of the information she states. Therefore the evidence indicates the need for aids to be able to wash and bathe reliably. Did I not score because it says reliably rather than safely?

I find using the PIP self test is easier to use when doing this. Just transfer the dots from the boxes in the report to the PIP self test and then see what score is recommended at the end of the test.

@te1 - you have to be able to satisfy any of the descriptors 'reliably'.
Reliably means- Safely.
- To an acceptable standard.
- Repeatedly.
- In a reasonable time.
If the assessor has said that you need an aid and then scored you 0 it sounds like he/she has made a mistake. If it's significant i.e. makes the difference between getting an award and not then you might need to ask them to correct this at a mandatory review..

Thank you for your reply can't say I'm impressed with the report there are a lot of spelling mistakes and sentences that don't make sense as words have been left out or added so I have to read them a couple of times to decifer what they actually meant to write. Twice in the report it says snot instead of not.

@te1 - I have only had one assessment but my report was the same.
Lots of typos, poor punctuation, one paragraph was completely unintelligible. It had certainly not been proofread and it came across as slapdash and unprofessional.
If someone working for me had produced such poor work I would have sent it straight back to be completely re-written.

I've seen 4 PIP reports in total, 2 for myself and 2 for my daughter and there's been typos in all of them. Did you add the recommended points up? Does it recommend an award?

Yes thank you I've added it up and looks like I will get the standard rate for daily living which is at least something I've been so stressed about it since the day I posted it and then waiting for the report. I just think it is very unprofessional and slapdash as well, as commented by Cristobal.

@te1 - curiously when I raised the poor quality no-one seemed too concerned.
I did wonder if anyone had actually read all of my report as I can't see how anyone could come to a decision and not have noticed that parts of the report made no sense.
Well done anyway!!

Are you happy with that? What award do you currently get?

Currently on low rate daily living so with the standard on pip I will be a little better off financially
-
That’s good news. Seriously.
-
I think it is as I could have lost everything from the horrendous stories I've seen on here and this Scope forum has been very helpful
-
As you're claiming low rate care DLA at the moment and your PIP report recommends standard daily living then this could entitle you to claim other benefits BUT it will depend on your circumstances and what other benefits you claim.
