    Hey all,
    Just a quick update I was just given a phone appointment for next monday for my phone assessment, not really feeling nervous I'm more concerned about the wait AFTER the call is conducted to know whether or not I'll get it, but all in all I think that was scheduled relatively quick.

    Same day as mine,good luck ?
    Thank you very much,
    may things go well for you too:)

    Hi @noobautist - Forgot to mention you can ring to ask for a copy of your assessment report about a week later. The points will give an indication of any likely award. You ring the PIP Enquiry number: Telephone: 0800 121 4433
    You will still have to wait for the actual decision letter however.
    So I got the letter, the woman basically marked me 0 points for every descriptor, saying I was more then capable of cognitive ability and that my speech is eloquent and because I am learning to drive this shows a good example of working memory, she basically made her own decisions based off of what I told her in the telephone interview as opposed to the written assessment, I'm almost certain I will appeal the minute I get my letter but I have no idea how to go about it, I'm frustated because I've waited so long in financial disaster just to be spat in the face by the woman assessing me,
    I'm livid.
