pip claim very quick

[shellcharlie]

I phoned to make a claim for my husband on 21st June {first claim}

2 weeks later the forms arrived filled them in and sent them off about 10th July.

was asked to attend a assessment on 1st august, we attended and the nurse was very nice we did not feel she was trying to catch us out..

Today 16th August husband received letter enhanced rate for care and mobility

I think it all went very smooth and quick, my husband walked into the assessment centre about 250 meters from door to office, he stopped several times to get his breath. she could see he was breathless for the 40 min we were with her we did not get a doctors letter just sent his spirometry results.

I know what its like waiting so hope this gives others hope

Thats great news mason,no more waiting for the postman

10 years is fantastic. we are happy with the 4 years we know its not going to improve so confident that the claim will continue when its time to reapply

we did not send in much medical evidence as we did not think we would need it,and it was only in june we decided to apply.

But we will save everything now and put it all in a special folder

take care michelle
