Hi all,
Well, I took the plunge and completed my ESA and PIP forms. I have been awarded 73.10 contribution based ESA. I understand this is a provisional payment, whilst my assessment is undertaken, is that right?
My GP has written a very supportive letter, he goes into quite a lot of details about my inabilities, compared with pre-fibro-me. I’m not sure it this made any difference but I received a call from DWP on Friday. The gentleman said that due to my condition, they wouldn’t expect me to attend a PIP health assessment, they were going to send someone to do a home visit. 2 questions....I’ll this health assessment be for PIP alone, or will it be for ESA too? Secondly, am I reading too much into this being a positive sign?
Tuesday is assessment day. I will let you know how it goes!
Thanks all,
Julie xx
