PIP

[Upallnightagain3]

If I’ve had my pip assessment and had text to day dwp have received report can I call
and ask for a copy of the report or can they tell me what I scored over the phone.

To say not say

The Decision Maker should look at all of the evidence of which the Health Care Professional's report will only be part.

They don’t just look at the report , but by all means call and request it. I doubt they’ll tell you any more details over the phone.

They go through all evidence in thorough detail.

I don’t want any more details over the phone,
I would like a copy of my report. They have all the reports etc

You'll get what you scored when they make their decision and write to you about it.

But you can call and ask for report incase it needs to go for MR. as you only have 4 weeks so it gives time to prepare. Have you had one recently?

Yes, you can call for a copy of the report. It will show what the assessor puts ticks next, too. You can then go onto pip assessment points on Google and add up your points, which gives you an estimate of what you'll get points for. The decision maker doesn't always go with what the assessor has put they could upgrade or downgrade . Call them and ask they can not refuse 😊. Good luck

Yes call and ask. You can work out the assessor's suggested award based on the report but bear in mind the final say so is with the decision maker so it can change up or down. Both of my awards so far have been what the assessor's report suggested.

Thank you @Kezhoust2586 and @TGGreen I’ll give them a call this afternoon

They send you the report once they made their decision. I don’t think you can get it before that.

I was awarded PiP recently and received a text from the DWP saying "We have awarded you PiP. We will write to you"

It was a couple of weeks at least before the paperwork arrived telling me what I had actually been awarded, this included the assessor's report and conclusions.

Im thinking of try to get pip as i have 5 chronic conditions and when i get flares im so much worse :(
i work only 18 hrs a week ive just had 5 weeks off sick and really struggling on 109£ a week. I need to work more back cant do any more physically.
how doe sit work? I have lots of proof of diagnosis.
do they need to ring to my work etc? Also ring my drs etc? Ive never claimed anything before so this is all so new to me x thankyou

Also is it something i call up to do?

@Upallnightagain3 how did urs go? X

It's not really about diagnosis but how those conditions affect you in relation to the PIP descriptors. Can you wash and dress yourself, cook a simple meal, communicate, mobilise, toilet yourself etc. Can you do these things to an acceptable standard within a reasonable timeframe and as often as needed. For variable conditions, you must meet the descriptors for 50% of the time to score the points. They may ring your GP but more likely to go by the medical evidence they receive from your form and from your assessment.

@Babyroobs ok, well i wouldnt mind them ringing my gp as i often see them as i always have struggles with day to day life due to my conditions.
thankyou for your reply :)
i think im gonna try it and see if i am able to get it, as its all becoming too much for me.
when my immune system attavks it self i can be ill for 6 months straight! Xx

I would just make sure you send plenty of medical evidence with the form, don't rely on them contacting your GP as they often don't/ won't unless they need something clarifying.

@Babyroobs ok thankyou! I have plenty of letters from consultants.
ill see what happens, just feel like i need abit of help. Its soo hard like i want to work more but my body just wont let me :( xxx

@Babyroobs hey! They have contacted my gp and sent a form for my gp to do. Is this good or bad news? Im glad they have as my gp can explain how many issues im having etc. X

Yes that's great if they have as they don't always speak to the GP. hopefully your GP will be able to provide additional information in support of your application.

@Babyroobs ok thankyou for your reply :)
yes my gp is amazing and sooo supportive with me during the 4 years in been struggling. What would the next process be ? X
