PIP form

[Shauna2866]

Hi I’m asking for a friend she called pip up in suavest and requested a form to be sent out but she said she was on the phone for around 15 minutes explaining what’s wrong with her and giving bank details she then received the forms she was currently waiting to be seen by a psychiatrist but the waiting list is so long to be seen so she said she would get seen first and some help and then fill it in with there input she does have 14 years off history being on anti depressents beta blockers
and so much more but pip have said they are calling her next week for a assessment and she said why would they do that when I haven’t filled my forms in 🤷🏻‍♀️ Now she’s worried incase she doesn’t get it without her filling in the forms has this happened to anyone else ?? Just find it weird apparently sometimes they can just go off the phone call but really can’t see that
thank you x

My PIP application was really fast (2020). From assessment to first payment was 8 days.

I also didn't send in any evidence. Not a scrap!

Things have changed dramatically since then.

Presumably you have medical evidence in the form of GP/specialist? Which OP friend also had, so not no evidence, just no sent evidence.

@Harrysnippleno3 well I’m not lying she’s received the phone call to say she has been awarded and you don’t always needed medical evidence only if the medical evidence actually states what your saying and not most does
not gonna lie am I ???

She didn’t have no evidence no but she does have 14 years worth of history from her GP and medication ect and she said to the women who called her to contact the doctors of she like .

That is considered evidence. She did have evidence.

@Harrysnippleno3 but she didn’t sent non in
she said to the women that she can call her GP
but non got sent in as she was waiting for therapy and to see a psychiatrist

It doesn't matter if it was sent in or if the DWP asked for it. It is all consider evidence. She had evidence.

Ah that’s great news!! Good for her.
fingers crossed I hear very soon… am using food banks atm just to stay above water.

@Strangerthings4NW okay sorry about that I didn’t know I just got told what my fiend told me and what I heard on the day she had her assessment alls my fiend said was I don’t have any evidence but if you like you can call my GP who has done all the referrals and what medication she’s been on over the years .

I hope you hear back soon from them about your claim
