Pip assessment

Hi

        I am new to this site so a little nervous.

I had my pip assessment at home as I have some difficulty getting around both inside and outside

The health professional who did the assessment was really nice and polite and listened to what I said

Due to reading on this site and others I decided to ask DWP for a copy of my assessment report the day after the assessment and received this on the 9th Feb.

The report in the main was good I think and upon using the self pip test and using the discriptors the hp ticked I have scored 12 points both for care and mobility sections but am not to sure what this all means I am just hoping that I get a favourable decision from the decision maker to be honest

I had my f2f in January and still waiting decision

Mike

      Hi Thomas

                                Am so pleased that it all worked out for you, I am still waiting for the letter to confirm what he has told me on the phone,  people don’t know unless they have been through it just how stressful it is

    Hi Mick I scored the same and it meant I got the highest rate for both plus I get esa. It took me about five months to get paid but you get it all back dated bud. I also got a brand new ford echo sport SUV with the sports package and I got the blue badge for disability parking with a disabled bay painted on the road at my gate with a big metal disabled parking sign oh and I got a bus pass that allows me to take a companion on as well mate. Instead of them coming to my house once a year for my claim the upped it to every five years. That's all I can mind the now hope it helps just hanging in there bro ??
