Pip review

[Lurganspur]

Hi everyone Just got my dreaded PIP review form I have standard PIP for heart problems after a HA & have heart failure, was just wondering if anyone else has had theirs recently & how they got on ? Thanks

[Hidden]

Hello

Was not to long ago I had mine but as well as heart failure I have other things wrong as well

They did mine paper view which basically is just a form asking if anything had changed

If nothing has changed or even got worse you should be fine , always answer any questions on your worst days you have and not any good one's and if there is something you sometimes can do but not all the time then say you can't do them at all because they will pick up on the slightest thing and saying sometimes to them they see it as you can

Good Luck I am sure you will be fine x

I hope you do to , fingers crossed and let us know how you get on x

[Lurganspur in reply to Hidden]

Absolutely I will thank you, it has to be in by July 13th so don’t know how long it will be before I get the verdict but will def let you know 👍 stay well & thanks again

[Hidden in reply to Lurganspur]

Since covid they are doing more by paper view rather than seeing you Sometimes they will just accept your form and you get a letter saying you are on the same awards like me , sometimes they will arrange a phone call just to ask a few questions and sometimes they will ask to see you the latter I think they are not really wanting to do as much of so taking all this into account I think you will be fine , like I said answer questions based on your worst days only

I think it all depends how many they have got to look at to how long you wait for a reply , I think mine was between 4 to 6 weeks which was rather quick but I would say get it in as soon as you can and hopefully this will be one less thing to think about x

I had a letter to say they were extending my review until December 2022,

[Lurganspur in reply to shopman]

I had a letter saying my review was may 2022 then a few weeks later my review form arrived 😳

[Hidden in reply to Lurganspur]

Really? I had a Letter to say mine has been extended to September 2022 because of Covid but, who knows, this is the DWP we are talking about here. Nothing with them would surprise me!!!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Morning… they are extending the Award dates so they have time to process the Review forms… expect one through the post…

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Well thank you. That's really cheered me up ha ha. Like I said, nothing at all would surprise me with them!! They've ALL been working from Home with no communication between them I expect. It's a mess!!

What is a PIP form? 🤔

[Abbidabbidoo in reply to COYW]

Personal Independence Payment ( PIP ) can help you with some of the extra costs if you have a long term physical or mental health condition or disability.

[imps4 in reply to Abbidabbidoo]

It's a good idea to keep a photocopy of your completed form,so you know what you put.

[Lurganspur in reply to imps4]

Hi thank you & yes I did keep that 👍 good idea

[Hidden]

They will make it as difficult as possible for you. Remember to fill it in as though it's your worst day and sound ill when they speak to you. They are truly sub human in my experience...

[Lurganspur in reply to Hidden]

Hi thanks for getting back & your right when I was applying it was an horrendous ordeal

[Thanksnhs]

Mine was supposed to be in August but they changed it to next may, so glad I don't have to think about it for a while, good luck I hope it goes smoothly, char

Check the website Benefits and Work for reports on how many are being turned down just now. To get all the advice on filling in he forms you have to pay to be a member ( IT's not much) but there's a lot of unpaid advice too. Best website ever.

[Cookie2020]

All the advice I can give you is get some help from a good friend and then ask CAB to cast there eye over it before you send it in as we all make mistakes sometimes.

Good luck

Hi I've had review form as well. I'm confused what they need. Should it be filled in as a new claim with everything warts and all.

Or do they want short answers, if any changes and new conditions problems
