So had my telephone appointment with pip today

I think it went ok , but won’t know anything until 8 weeks from now

At the moment I get standard daily living 🙏 and I’d say I am a lot worse now than I was then , question is can they stop the pip that you r receiving altogether even though I am worse now ??

Hello, the DWP can stop your award if they think, believe your not eligible for it. Please remember PIP is a benefit awarded to people not on a diagnosis or illness or the amount of prescription drugs you are taking, but on your ability to preform the PIP descriptiors in a repeatable, safely and in a timely manner for 50% of your daily life and that the health conditions have been prese for the last 3 months and will remain for the next 9 months or longer, haveing proof of your disability, diagnosis or illness will help the HP access you at your face to face assessment or telephone assessment. Now that your assessment is complete wait a week or more and contact DWP and request a copy of your assessment report and on receiving it you can workout what you're award may should be but you still have to wait for the official award confirmation letter.

Hi jackiejack123

If you don’t mind me asking how long after sending your form did you receive a telephone appointment

I applied for pip for the first time it’s so stressful especially with COVID going on

Are applications taking longer?

Thank you

Maybe renewals are a different process I guess

It’s just a waiting game now
