claiming pip

[jill85xxx]

hi new here does anyone pip and have a review?posted my forms an im terrifed.i have a letter of my psycologist saying im currently in therapy an shes known me since 2019 an ive had 20 sessions with her in 2021sn ive just started more therapy with her.ive wrote on the forms struggles in great detail ive a letter with my disgnosis on of EUPD sent my medication letter

I have one too, just had the text saying about it and waiting for the form to arrive :-(

Horrible isn't it. Mine is mainly mental health as well. Recurrent depression, and some physical problems. Fingers crossed for you. I had to appeal last time, I have decided if I do that again I might just ask for it on paper as can't handle the stress of it all.

I'm confused as to what you are saying. Is this a new claim or a review of an existing claim?

My last review was paper based…didn’t go to assessment ….got the same award but for 4 years this time instead of 2 years the first time

iam ill with it i cant eat im
so stressed im in therapy i see a psychstrist ive put loads of detail on the form ive sent a letter of my psychologist stating im currently in therapy.ive told them about my Anger issues i have EUPD an i explode with anger its gotton me in trouble with the police a few times ive sent a letter explaing this.so i dont go out aswel as that i have anxiety an depression ive got no motivation i cant get out of bed my house is s mess im struggling badly xx

its a review

You need to treat it like a new claim…put at least 2 examples for each descriptor where you think you should score points ..a letter from a psychologist isn’t really evidence as such

It doesn’t provide any real life examples ….but if you did a comprehensive review form that will count…..and send your repeat prescription

I have reported your picture as details are visible.

This letter isn't going to do much in terms of helping your claim. You need to go through each descriptor and explain and evidence why you can't do or need support in that area. The letter is ok to show you are engaging with services and that you have difficulties but it doesn't actually show how your condition affects you and that's what PIP are asking for. Doing a review I would take the information from your initial claim and further evidence those points of at all possible .

I would do the opposite, just put no change to everything, send in the letters.

Was told this by a benefits advisor, unless anything has changed of course.

what is that?ive never heard of it.im on antipsychotics a few different ones and i see psychiatrist every 4 months an like i said im in therapy now ive put loads of details on the form of how i struggle daily last time thry dun a paper based an re awarded me

ive sent other letters not just this one an on the form the bit at the back ive wrote loads on it

ive wrote on the form how it effects me

Do you have any evidence to show how it affects you?

That is a sure fire way to lose your award 🙄

yes

Right so you have done everything you can. It's just a very long waiting game now.

Really, it's not. They are looking for changes at the review. If the OP is under the MH team etc she'll be fine.

OP try not to worry it will be OK

🤣🤣🤣 comedian on the thread

I've claimed PIP myself for MH since 2014, I know what I am talking about.

@Orangesandlemons77

You know your own experience. There is never any harm in giving information when doing a review. The most harmful thing here is telling someone they don't need to.

Ok, so in my experience going on in great detail about how you meed the descriptors will mean they think you are competent and able (with mental health)

Being under the MH team, on multiple medications, at 'risk' and not being able to complete the form demonstrates how badly you are affected.
