Hello Sallyanne44,

I believe many have experienced long waits for their PIP & ESA applications replies. I wanted to let you know that if you need any advice on PIP we, FibroAction can help by sending some useful information to you. If you would like to contact us anytime [e-mail] we would be happy to help.

For the meanwhile could I provide you with a link to our website about benefits which you may find of interest or as a reference of resources/organisations available to you;

I hope you receive your reply soon as it is obviously on you mind

Best Wishes

I know its stressful not knowing what's happening I was told the end of November they were in my area and I would receive an appointment letter in 2 weeks when I didn't receive an appointment I phone atos again I was told I'd receive an appointment very soon so I phoned back Christmas eve and they said there's no one in my area and they didn't know when I'd get an appointment.x

phone pip and tell them what is going on

There is literature on this matter including decision making however I have a concern about what other information is collected. Eg lifestyle. Would they add to reports with things like " has television therefore living above means " or " children look unwell recommend contacting social services " I say this because its quite clear that like

Other benefits the iidea is to remove as many benefits from ppl as possible despite the consequences

I've been waiting since beginning of September. Was also told I'm on the list for a consultation when there's one in my area!! Maybe their Hopeing we will die in the meantime.

[sallyanne44 in reply to glochessum]

Yeah seems like it

I applied in August, and just had Atos medical on Saturday and told I should hear in 2 week's, think it it a lit to do with the area you live in to, hope you hear soon.

Take care x

[cowsrock in reply to sallyanne44]
