Just a quick update on my husband’s claim, he was on standard care and enhanced mobility. He had a home assessment early January and requested a copy of his report the week after, when it arrived it was a proper truthful written account of his assessment.
He has now been awarded Enhanced Care and kept Enhanced Mobility for an ongoing period, with no review date/timescale mentioned.
He is obviously very pleased with the outcome. He is not due his state pension until the end of this year so we thought they may have put a review date in for a year or so, but thankfully they haven’t.

The whole experience for him was a good one, which makes up for the dreadful one I had and proves to me that it all depends on the assessor, his was lovely, mine was awful..the decisions speak for themselves.

Mind you his first two assessments going back to when PIP first started weren’t positive experiences, the last two have been much better...I wish I had the same assessor as he had as sure my outcome would have been different, still onwards to appeal I go, more determined than ever now after the DWP’s blatant attempt to bully and intimidate me into stopping it.
