Review call

hi all, just finished my dreaded pip phone call. It was for review. It took one hour thirty eight minutes. Health worker sounds not that bad and my son was with me during the assessment. She let him speaks and explain my situation where I was struggling. It sounds ok but finger crossed. She said at the end that they might call again if need more information but it is unlikely.

Thanks to everyone who advised me and help me. Finally it’s over.

I’m so happy for you. It’s always nerve wracking facing the review process. Hope everything works out well for you.

Thanks for good thoughts Pagets22 , I hope the same outcome. So scared to get the review assessment report and don’t know where to request it.

after a couple of days you can ring DWP and ask for a copy of the report. This will give you some idea of the suggested points and award. It also gives you time to go through the report and highlight where things have been omitted or misunderstood . Hopefully you won’t need to ask for a mandatory reconsideration (MR) but it will give you a head start if you do. Good luck

It’s DWP who send out the copies of the assessment.

Hello you ring up assessment people and request copy it's also good for references at later times if you need to do paperwork again I always get copy of assessments and reviews going back to 2014 when we changed over fro. Incapacity benefit to esa I had terrible experience and took nearly year to sort through the total amount of misinformation written in my assessment report I challenged 30 wrong entries and ever since always get to references what they write compared to what is said it's possible now to get recordings of assessment now also I got paper copy of pip and a cd copy of esa review pip was given 10yr award but now if government change iam worried about having to go another process
