Hi


I’m looking some advice please.

I applied for pip back in July. I have severe anxiety, depression and a slow growing brain meningioma between two blood vessels in My brain which make it inoperable. I completed my capita phone assessment but then unexpectedly received a second phone call clarifying some information I had given the first assessor. When I asked for the assessment the second assessor marked me 0 for absolutely everything and seems to have contradicted everything the first assessor put on my report. I requested an MR which I completed in writing and included more evidence. I phoned today to ask if they had received my evidence and the girl said they had and that the decision maker had requested more information from my gp and had also sent my mr back to capita for advice. Has anyone else had this happen? I’m new to all this and actually put off claiming pip for 5 years when I was told to as I could not face going through the process.

    Hello @heyyouguys123

    I'm sorry no one responded so far. I know you posted a while ago so I'm wondering if you have heard the outcome of your MR yet?

    I'm on week 8 of my MR and it's still waiting for the decision maker, my report was also sent back to the assessment provider due to it not up to the standard, this was re-done on 27th November, so I've called today and they said they are still looking at a completion date of 03/03/25. I applied in July too and received 0 points. So wishing you good luck hope you hear soon

    hi, yes I received my MR back having gone from 0 points in the beginning to 2 points. They also had a few lies on the report, they said I was out while speaking to them…I was sitting in my bedroom because I am petrified of going out alone! I have now applied to tribunal so I will just have to wait and see what happens now.

    Karen19862 I hope you have more luck with yours!

    Thank you x hopefully you haven't got a long wait for tribunal x it's not as bad as the assessment to be honest. Can I ask how long it was before you got your MR back I'm on week 8 so another 7 roughly.
