I applied for PIP in April. I received a letter from then saying whats in the title. Does this mean that I do not need to have an assessment? I'm applying due to hearing loss and when I spoke to my audiologist, he said that PIP will ask them for the medical evidence and information and of course, they will send it over to them... is that sufficient enough? If you had the same thing, what was the outcome? Thanks

You will have had a paper based assesment, which has been extremely quick. Decision timescales from now will be 2-12 weeks.
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. -

I'd say it's unusual not to be awarded anything when having a paper based assessment because if they don't have enough evidence to award something I believe they'd have to then do an assessment with you. It doesn't mean you'll get both elements or the higher rates though.
Good luck and hope decision doesn't take too long! -
Thank you for your replies. I have received a text message from DWP saying I have been awarded PIP. I was honestly expecting to be turned down and was preparing myself to appeal it.

Providing you were transferring from DLA your PIP will be paid from the date you rang to start your claim. Assuming you've had the conditions for at least 3 months.

Yes, i did mean that, thanks calcotti. Unfortunately, it's too late to edit my comment now.

Hi again. Sorry I hope I'm not bothering anyone too much. I called PIP using option 6 as someone on here suggested so I didn't have to talk to anyone, my husband listened to it for me and it said I am being paid x amount (I am guessing backdated)and it will be paid on 14th April. What does that mean because April has been and gone.

Personally i wouldn't take too much notice of this new automated message.If successfully awarded payment usually goes into your bank before you receive the decision letter.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

Not impatient @Ilove2crochet, just concerned. These things can just make us seem impatient. Hopefully, the wait will go fast for you.
Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can do anything to support you through this waiting period. It can provoke anxiety, as you saidCommunity Volunteer Adviser with professional knowledge of education, special educational needs and disabilities and EHCP's. Pronouns: She/her.

Thank you all again for your help and just being supportive. I am so pleased to have found this forum and made to feel so welcome update, the backdated pay has just gone into my account! Now just have to wait for the decision letter and see what I've been awarded.
