I seen a post on reddit where someone stated - "In recent months, mental health claims are getting straight 0's" on PIP applications/assessments!

Evening Can anyone tell me the meaning of this HPs should not consider the point scores associated with descriptors or whether these will confer entitlement to the benefit if chosen by the DWP’s case managers (CMs). HPs should only consider whether the descriptor is appropriate to the claimant’s circumstances. Many Thanks

Hi I am currently getting my ducks in a row as our son was awarded highest rate pip for daily living and mobility. He was given an ongoing award in 2017 and it states we will contact you after May 2027. I am aware the reassessment form could come any time before or after. My main question is do you tick no change as he…

I am due for review for PIP next year but over this winter my mobility has taken a hit with arthritis flares. I was one point off full mobility allowance last time. Do I report the change now or wait? Will I still be reassessed next year if they reassess me now? Part of me doesn't want to rock the boat but I am struggling…

hello! my pip review was completed in under a week and honestly it’s a little scary. we stated we were sending supporting evidence separately but they hadn’t even given us a chance to do that before saying it was complete, so i’m a little nervous. the exact message is this “Your PIP review is complete. You should receive…

Hi All, Happy New Year! I've just received my PIP Review paperwork - my award ends in September.
