Waiting........

[loober]

I've had my home assessment nearly 2 weeks ago, I think it went ok, the person who came was very knowledgeable about lupus, fibro etc, she said I have nothing to worry about.

Can anyone tell me how long they waited for ?

is this for pip?

[loober in reply to riannabri]

Yes it's PIP

I got my PIP decision after about 4 weeks, and got the same amount as I had for DLA. I hope this helps, and that you get the same result. The whole thing is so stressful, isn't it?

[loober in reply to Lupiknits]

Isn't PIP different to DLA for allowances

[riannabri in reply to loober]

The assessment is very different but my pip amount is the same as dla

[loober in reply to riannabri]

if I get it my PIP will be a lot more than my DLA now

Hi l waited 4 weeks for a reply, I got a higher amount of Pip to DLA, when she came to my home for assessment l was really poorly with a 7 weeks of very bad chest infection, whether this made any diffrence to the amount, as l looked like death, l really dont know. So fingers crossed you get a higher rate too.

Thank you Lucymay, I get high rate in mobility and low rate in care on DLA xx

Hi, did you have help filling in the forms? My letter came yesterday saying my dla ending and needed to apply for pip. I get high mobility low rate care dla. Its so worrying all these forms and assessments

[loober]

Jayfer No I didn't get help, I went back on my DLA paper work and added some more, plus I went on benefitsandwork website and got information off there, paid £20 for the year but it was really useful.
