PIP experience

Hi @Morgan_Scope 🙂

It’s no problem. I know everyone’s pip journey is different I just know how horrible it is searching the internet for any bit of useful information so if I can help ease someone else’s anxiety a little, great!
The lady that did my telephone consultation was actually lovely. I don’t think I did very well as my anxiety was through the roof and could barely get any words out😩 so I’m expecting disappointment but trying to stay positive I guess.

Hi,

Does anyone know how long after having your telephone consultation can you contact the PIP enquiry line to request the report?

Hi @Kimmy87,

I did actually ring them yesterday morning and the man I spoke to was lovely & said I would receive it within 5-10 days. However, he did say ‘just a word of advice, by no means is the report a final decision & the decision maker may need to contact you for further information’

Does that sound standard or was he dropping an hint that I’m going to have to go through this again?😖

just an update guys, I’ll continue where I left off..

24th Feb - text message saying ‘we have received your pip report and we will write to you once we have made a decision etc..’

25th Feb I rang up to request my report (received 2 weeks later)

7th March my anxiety got the better of me and I contacted to see if a decision had been made and I was told it had been made that morning (perfect timing) that I had been awarded but they couldn’t see my award, I was to wait on my award text message then I could ring them back.

10th March award text came through and I contacted them. Was told my award, how much I was being backpaid and the dates it would go into my bank.

Still awaiting my decision letter but obviously it’s only been a few days it’ll probs be 2 weeks to receive like the report was.

Hope this eases anyone’s anxiety right now or helps in any way🙂 Good Luck 🤞🏼
