Had pip assessment Waiting decision

I'm in the same situation as u, I have been told that after ringing themselves couple of days ago they have received my f2f assessment report and are making their decision!!!! I'm going insane waiting.... We have been living off my child benefit and child tax credit for the last month n haven't had any pip or carers allowance since beginning of Feb!!!!! Really struggling and I'm bursting into tears over stupid random things as it's proper getting me down!!! First time I've ever been signed of work n haven't gone back in 3 yrs!!!!!! I'm only 37 n really struggling to deal with my health problems etc n my kids n partner r suffering with it as well. Even though they don't moan but I know it's getting to them!!!!! This waiting game is proper bringing everything into perspective.......... Sorry for rambling on.......

How long was it after u got the desision

Hi i am in the same boat had a letter last  thursday saying the same thing i suffer with depression and very bad anxiety so i phoned them yesterday and they said it's still with the dishion macker and he told me its up to 4 to 6 weeks wate i have been waiting 4 weeks now so i guess i got 2 weeks left to wate

 

Hi tracy69588, they said the same to me! And around two weeks later i got a later saying I don't have enough points for the pip! And that's me that broke my back last September and has multiple blood clots on my brain....the new system is one big joke....I'm now waiting for them to look at it again,

Hope you have more luck then me...

Hi. It can take about 6 months from the day of your original phone call to pip for everything to be completed. I'll try and explain as I've also applied for pip. When you initially ring them, they will send you an application form to complete. You will then have to send the application back and wait for a letter to attend the pip assessment. When attending the assessment to then take all tablets with you and all sicknites if your not working due to your condition. Take along proof if radiology reports if you have been for x-rays for slipped discs in your back etc. Take along proof of address. Proof of you by way if passport or driving licence and proof of bank account for pip as well as a utility bill. If you have been on ESA employment support allowance and been turned down for this after having they're own assessment, then do not think you will be turned down automatically for pip. Pip is entirely different and a benefit you can claim even if working. After your assessment and depending if you have brought everything pip has asked from you to bring, then your application will be submitted to DWP to make the agreed payment every month that the pip assessor believes you should receive after your assessment. The average minimum time for pip to be processed is four weeks after the assessment. But don't worry too much on this as your claim will be back dated from the original first point of contact. In my case the 14th November and I'm still waiting. I only had my initial assessment on 22nd December and the claim wasn't dealt with till the 4th January. On on the 14th January did I receive a letter from dwp saying my pip claim is being dealt with. Your claim if successful will be backdated so expect a nice tidy little sum of money going into your account. Once you receive your award letter and if your not able to work then you do not have to any longer claim jsa or universal credit because you had your ESA claim stopped if the was said you were fit to work. Once pip is awarded then take your award letter to the local council and they will pay all your housing benefit and council tax depending on your mobility and disability ratings being high or low. If you receive the low rates on mobility and disability then the council will still award you housing benefit. You will also qualify for several other benefits as of your pip award too which is a dam sight more than jsa and universal credit plus you won't have to go through all the hassle of completing job searches every week and signing on. Sorry my reply is long but I have certainly come to know these things through my own experience. I would recommend that if claiming pip then to always put in a new claim for pip 6 months before your old one runs out. This won't interfere with your existing pip entitlements. It's recommended you do this from pip and the DWP as it can in some cases take up to a maximum of 6 months for some claims to be processed. Normally the maximum pip you can get a month is about £500 so if your claim takes 6 months to process and your entitled to full entitlement then expect a lump sum if three thousand in your account at the end of that 6 month wait. Hoped this has helped a bit. Oh and if you were turned down for ESA then don't bother appealing they're decision as it still be a no from the ESA appeal as they're not interested in taking appeals seriously. Been there already and I can't even walk tidy. Good luck with your claim

I’m new here tracy, I claim pip on behalf of my son who has autism, anxiety and depression and conversion disorder, he’s been on dla for years , transferred to pip , got awarded pip then recently they took it all away including my carers allowance, they said one thing was he could communicate with people because we said he wants to work on a checkout at Tesco, they took that he has no problem communicating when he can’t talk to people he doesn’t know, it’s so frustrating that they don’t listen and change what you say at f2f assessments
