    A lot of DWP advisors are still currently working from home. No, it's not ideal but with Covid, they really have no choice. Many will also have families at home, which may cause problems for them sometimes while working. I know it's the DWP but these are extremely difficult times for everyone.

    Try ringing early in the morning as soon as they open.

    The points you scored here are correct, regardless of who helps you with this activity. It doesn't have to be a professional person.

    I received all my pip reports dated back to 2016 today
    I'll now wait to see what they say about pip law changes. Then if needed I hand them over to a welfare rights professional. To check all for me

    Just so that you're aware there are no indefinite awards for PIP and the longest award is 10 years. Indefinite awards were only for DLA, which no longer exists for those between 16 and state pension age.

    Hi all

    Are the 4 points for prompt 
    For daily living activities only
    I already get enhanced for daily living

    Hi @hass - it's about the 'Engaging with other people' descriptor, which yes, is part of the daily living component. As you already get the enhanced rate for this, it won't affect you.
