in PIP, DLA, and AA
Just had my PIP face to face not what i really wanted at 68 years old but there you are these things are sent to try us.
I can honestly say this is the third one i have had over the years i have been claiming and the Assessor who came to my home which i did not specifically ask for was very understanding  and sympathetic to my daily struggles and was a credit to her profession i just hope now the outcome is positive.

    Good luck. Don't forget you can ring DWP in about a week to request a copy of the report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    If you're awarded it will be from the date of the decision, unless you reported a change of circumstances. If you're not awarded and a decision is made before your award ends then your payments will stop from the date of the decision.
