PIP.

Hi There, I waited only a week for my decision to come through I got Low rate care but high mobility just what I was expecting if I had never cancelled the first appointment as I was in hospital, The whole thing from the start to finish took 4 weeks they must be trying to speed it up because of the switch from DLA to PIP and they have half a million extra cases to do, All the previous claimants' who received it for life are to be recalled for a one to one with their consultants.matt

That was quick mattcass. I'm pleased it was a positive outcome. It's seeming to be that however long it takes from application to assessment to receiving the brown envelope more & more seem to be positive outcomes which can only be good.

Wow very quick my claim took 8 months in which time my condition improved. I got the result came in a week and I didn't qualify for anything. Feeling let down as I was in a state when I needed it. But I'm pleased to hear that you got some help.

I have a home assessment on this Wednesday morning and have worked myself into a right mess worrying what the outcome is going to be. I have RA and psoriatic arthritis and pronation of my left foot. My husband is my full time carer day to day care.
