Pip 'we now have all the information we need' letter

[leah_0600]

Did anyone get this letter and does it mean I don't need to have an assessment? Thanks for any replies x

Hi there leah_0600 I am not sure to be honest what it means. But I have never had one. The DWP should be open again tmw so it maybe a good idea to give them a call and ask them what the letter means . I do know not every one as a f2f my son never had one. It all depends on your physical and mental health and what they already have on record about you. Why not give them a call you have nothing to lose and it may help give you some peace of mind. Please let us know how you get on xx

I had this it seemed to be just an acknowledgement that they had received my form and had enough information for them to decide what to do next. Unfortunately I still had to have an assessment bu,t you might find in your case you are lucky. Fingers crossed for you. I actually found them very helpful when I had to ring them up so as Dizzytwo says don't be afraid to give them a call.

Wouldn't it be great if that is what it meant? I know they are very behind with PIP, particularly with the changeover from DLA.

Fingers crossed for you.

Now time for the important bit. They will make their decision based on what they have and next communication will be the result. Good luck.

No you will still have to attend a face to face All the letter means is that they have all the medical evidence needed to proceed with your interview I received the same letter then 5 weeks later was given a date to attend the interview.

Ahhh ok, sounds like I still will need a face to face then. I'm going to ring up at some point and ask xx

Just out of curiosity heliboy were you granted pip?

[lazzaboyce in reply to Heliboy911]

Why would the letter state that the DWP has 'all the information needed to make a decision', if there was further unknown information from a 'face to face' that had not taken place, to be considered? I think the letter must mean there is no further information required and a decision will be made on the information held in due course. This decision may be appealed if the applicant believes it to be wrong.

Hi everyone. I rang up today and have been awarded enhanced rate PIP. I guess I didn't need a face to face! If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask x
