HI, I've put in for my first pip claim back in July,, I've struggled with mental health for a couple of years and had 3 informal admissions into mental hospital in the past year

They have done a paper based assessment and ive had a message today to say they hahave written report and they will write to me in 8 weeks

What are my chances of getting awarded please if anyone could help

Thanks

    Hi @ryandollie123 and welcome to the community. It's impossible for us to say your chances of being awarded as everyone's application is unique. I understand it's a stressful time having to wait for a decision, do you have some support at home?

    When you get the decision, if it's not what you wanted you can always ask for a Mandatory Reconsideration and then go on to Tribunal if needs be. It's a daunting prospect but we can support you the whole way through 😊 I had to go all the way to tribunal and personally found it the 'easiest' part as I was listened to by medical professionals.

    Keep talking on here and let us know what we can do to help and we will.

    I Just know I have not had a assessment as they said there was enough medical records to do a paper based assessment

    Then had the message today to say dwp have received my report and will write to me within 8 weeks

    Thanks for the warm welcome

    Paper based assessments mean they had enough of information needed to write the report without needing an assessment. Many people are awarded after a paper based assessment but there are some who are not.

    Please be aware that the report is just a recommendation, it's not the decision letter. Although they mostly go with the report, it has been known for them to go against it.

    Requesting the report does also cause a lot of increased anxiety, even if the report is in your favour. For this reason it maybe better not to request it and just wait for the decision.
