I have just had my pip assessment report which I was advised to ask for before I got my pip award letter.
Even with evidence from consultant and medical professional they have still twisted facts and the truth to suit them I am disgusted.
I will appeal, But! I would advise everyone to request the assessment report two weeks after you pip assessment. This is prior to you receiving the DWP pip award letter and gives you time to then write your appeal letter.
Every single question will need me to appeal and fight to correct them even when there were pages of supporting evidence and additional pages with examples.
Have my conditions for over three years means nothing glad I recorded the whole interview.
The report contradicts it self in allot of places my partner pointed out.
Thank you for reading π

I have only had the report not the award letter yet but it says what they recommend and what notes they record most of my things I have issues with were ignored. I will await to see what the award letter says when it arrives.
So sorry that's happened. I have my phone assessment coming up in 2 weeks so I'm worried about what will happen too as I've also had a lot of experience with them twisting things and outright saying something different from what I said, though usually it still goes through - I had to appeal the first time but the appeal panel was really nice. Thanks for the tip about asking for the report, I will definitely do that. Good luck with the appeal.
Did you ask for a review before your current pip was up for review? Just wondering because I was thinking of asking for a new review on my current claim, because of mobility issues now, or do I wait.π
Well done for recording it. I have one at the end of the month and have been advised to record it. Unfortunately, i think thats the only way, as they dont seem to play fair. I found this really helpful. benefitsandwork.co.uk/We pay taxes most of our life, PIP is there to help the people who need it, yet you are made to feel like a cheat and a scoundrel when applying or reapplying, its almost like they think we want to be asking for help. Personally i would prefer not to, its a case of having to. Like many of the great systems we were once proud of, they no longer work as they should. Therefore were all made to feel like were being dishonest, when in fact its a very tiny minority of people who are dishonest, yet we all get treated like we are. There are too many of us that need help now and it seems to me they dont really want to give it to you, Good luck with the appeal.
hi Warrenrd thank you for reply I have been a member of that site for a while however our illnesses still makes it very difficult with too much effort I too would not bother but have no choice.
Before you can appeal, you have 30 days from the date of the decision letter to request a Mandatory Reconsideration. That's what I did and created a table correcting every point and not holding back on criticism for the assessor's lies, mistakes and twisting of the facts. I got my full benefits reinstated two weeks later, so it didn't do any harm calling the assessor an idiot ππ Best of luck.
