[jacksprat92]

having been on dla( on indefinate) mobility and care awards and severe disabled award( forever), im now on esa support group, which i was advised by phone, now sooooo stressed with filling in pip, dwp are coming to my house to help me fill in the forms, has anybody had dwp do this before?

I had DWP to help me fill in my forms. The gentleman was excellent and although I had to have a medical assessment I was awarded full rate for care and mobility

Never heared of that at all, be very carefully they will be watch every step you make. Double check are you sure it is not someone from CAB or citizen advice. How FDA you manage to get this, I couldn't get any help at all.

Ps if you make them a brew there goes your care bit.

We had our bath took out at our own cost of around £3.500 and bang went my care bit.

Hi jacksprat92

I have never heard of this before either? I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck with your PIP application and please take care of yourself my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

It is actually part of DWP employee's job to help anyone that asks, to complete any forms. They can only actually write what you say, so unlike the CAB Disability Rights groups who may help with wording etc.

I only knew this when I met my ex husband who was a fraud investigator for DWP, who told me.

Good luck with forms & just be yourself & be truthful, that's all you can do xx

dwp mans been, so nice, he filled the form form his-self, and filled in the descriptor using all words from all of us. we took a photocopy of the answers, he also got hubby to fill in an appointee form so that the dwp can talk to him about my claim etc.............not a bad day at all..........gentle hugs all round.....i await the decision he recons it may take a few weeks, new ones on average 23 weeks
