I'm new to this sight. I don't know what a pip assessment is. Would someone please explain.

thank you

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to JOSANA]

Can I ask if you are in the UK ? If not you won't have heard of it as it is one of the benefits available to people here. It used to be known as DLA (Disability Living Allowance) but with all the changes in the system it is now known PIP (Personal Independence Payment) and it is awarded and non means tested for people with chronic conditions.

I hope that clarifies the matter for you

Whoops,the PIP assessment is part of the application for such payment and the benefits are all in such a muddle that people who were on DLA indefinitely are now being reassessed for the new PIP, really it is just the government massaging figures (that's my own humble opinion) and putting many people through undue stress in the process.

Hi

I hope you have a better experience than me. It has took me 10 months to go through the PIP process! I had a new diagnosis and rung DLA with changes to my circumstances, because of this they treated me like a normal re-assessment (someone moving from DLA to PIP). This means that I am not getting any back pay, so have been without support for my new diagnosis for 10 months. I had my home assessment in March and got the report in August...... I have complained and got my MP involved, it's currently being investigated. If your in the same situation and you want back pay the best thing to do to is stop DLA and start a brand new claim for PIP. I just hope others aren't enduring the same treatment. xxx

Hi

I hope you get a quick response. In total my claim, decision and reconsideration took over 12 months. It was a nightmare! They really put me through the mill! I had my assessment in September they gave me a decision in January and i requested a reconsideration. I was awarded high rate for both components in July more than 12 months after the initial application. Due to the time it took them to make the reconsideration decision i had less than 12 months left on my existing award. So i have to go through the whole process again before next June. The whole thing seemed to suck all the energy out of me and i am dreading doing it again.

But on the plus side some people have had quick responses so chin up you could be one of them. Fingers crossed good luck.

Hi Fairytales, don't get your hopes up about how quickly you will get a payment. The results from the assessment are sent back to a DWP decision maker, so this could be a few weeks. I have been getting reports of the entire thing taking up to 6 months to sort from the date you rang to make your claim. Anyway, I hope it all goes well for you.

My mandertory reassessment that i asked for has now been passed on to the tribunal. I have to phone them later and sort out what to do with new evidence. If i ever get an appointment for the specialist.

Sue fed up but not giving up. This is for all of us who suffer from cognative problems.

hi i had a home assesment with capita on the 16th of june then on the 28th july 6 weeks after the assesment i got a letter that had been sent on the 26 july to say they had all the information to make a decision its now 8 weeks and still not heard anything its very stressfull it wont alter the decision if you phone them good luck give them a call,the phone number on the letter i got was 0345 8503322 hope this helps i hope to hear soon the stress of waiting is getting to me ,xxx

[bvlgari]

I had my assessment in May after waiting 6 months. In September I received a letter saying I did not qualify. Its been a nightmare the lady from capita has made up lots of stuff about me and not included vital information. I have requested a reconsideration and been on a 5 day call day for 3 weeks now. The whole process iis so stressful. If the right information had been put down and I failed I would have accepted that but not when lies have been told. Really hope yours is a better experience.x
