is this the norm - PIP ?

[thefootofourstairs]

I sent the form in for ds2 last week and today i have had two phone calls asking me to clarify various things .
Is this what normally happens ?

The woman just didn't seem to be getting it when i was trying to explain things so i don't hold out much hope anyway .

I have no idea what is normal but I had no contact at all from the DWP about dd's application last year until I got the assessment date.

hmm yes thats what i was expecting . She was asking me things that were already asked on the form too . Made me feel like i was being tested as some kind of liar

Yes we had a followup phone call asking all the questions I had answered on the form and I did feel I was being interrogated however within 2 weeks letter arrived awarding her high care and high mobility. She was on middle care and low mobility
Try not to worry and good luck

so was she awarded that without a face to face assessment 2old ?
i can ds2 refusing point blank to speak to anyone .

No, just a rather intrusive phone call, like your DS she would go into her shell. If he is called for face to face please try not to worry, she did have a face to face for ESA and she was refused but we appealed and it was overturned. Phew until next time!
