Does anyone have any experience of changing to pip it seems there are so many grey areas that claimants can fall through eg the one about not safely cooking getting 8 Pont's but if you can use a microwave you only get 2 it seems so much is left to the assor.

Are the assors paid a comision for refusing claims.

Hi wobelyjohn

I am afraid I have no personal experience of moving to PIP yet. I was given an indefinite award of DLA over 20 years ago. I am under the impression I will be re-assessed next year.

I do not know whether assessors are paid a commission for refusing claims. I would be horrified to learn that this is the case and sincerely hope it isn't.

Best Wishes

Harriet
