Sorry this is a silly question so today I had my assessment and in 8 weeks I hear back then what will happen I’m new to all this 

They tell everyone 8 weeks but it's more like 2-12 weeks, sometimes longer.

It depends on the work load in you’re area about decisions, The best thing you could do is Request a copy of your Assessment Report, This should tell you if you’re likely to receive PIP, But from what I’ve read Decision makers don’t always go with the report.

hi lee have you received your report yet ? 

Hello, I received the Assessment Report, Haven’t had a Decision Maker letter yet, I’m guessing that’ll say the same though 0 points, it’s just a waiting game now I suppose.

oh no so you not entitled to pip then ? I have asked for my report I’m just waiting for it to come and I let you know …..

I have no idea yet, I’m assuming the decision maker will go with the assessment report and refuse me, Then I will have to make a mandatory reconsideration, Its a lengthy frustrating process I’m afraid .

can I ask what affects you on a daily basis? 

Mine was for mental health, anxiety disorder Phobias

I have Anti social personality disorder, Autism and OCD, I do not understand complex verbal and written information, I have anxiety too, I barely leave the house, Body feels like it’s tingling, Always feel like people are looking at me, Which has got me into trouble for saying ‘What are you looking at’, But the assessor did Not write any of this in her report at all.

I’m sorry to here this I’m guessing mine will be the same …
we have similar conditions 

It taken 2 days to receive my Assessment Report, Keep me posted about yours please, I’m preparing a MR letter as we speak. Just incase the Decision maker goes with the report, I sent evidence from my Autism Diagnosis too, which they didn’t seem to read either, it’s frustrating knowing you’re telling the truth, But the assessor doesn’t see anything wrong with you.

Hi Everyone. I'm new to the community, was reading all your posts regarding PIP, I'm currently trying to fill out the form  I was given the choice of the online or paper format, I decided on the online format, I started it however finding it very challenging, Does anyone know where I can get help and support in filling out the form??.  any help would be appreciated, I have Osteoarthritis the joints of my feet, toes and ankles.. .Thx in Advance

Thanks for the update, Exactly like mine unfortunately, I guess we’ll just have to see what the Decision Maker say, Like Poppy said, It has been known for them to go against the report, Maybe we’ll get lucky

I have appealed, will just called to say I would like too so got to send more paper work off and wait to here back … not sure what I’m really doing never done this before 

I’m hoping I get my decision soon, will be typing a MR up just incase I need to send one.
