PIP award

Posted , 6 users are following.

Hi all 

just to tell you that after 8 weeks of waiting and a good report from the assessor.   I just rang the DWP and I have been awarded enhanced on both mobility and daily living for 4 years.  

I hope that that you all get the same result.

    It's been almost 4 weeks and I'm worried and anxious! I'm thinking the worst at the moment and think I won't receive PIP as I never have any luck!!

      Hi maestro

      it was 8 weeks for me to wait and I felt exactly like you If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any luck at all!

      I hope all goes well for you but you might have to wait a bit longer or not but people seem to be waiting 8 weeks at the minute.

      I think I said enough and had a good case. She asked me questions about maths and to remember things I got them all wrong. I did call a benefits advisor today and explained what happened and they said I have a good case so I should still get it. I don't think I wanna call the pip to find out as it will make me look bait I said i can't even leave the house alone so me calling up is gonna bait me up and show them I can do things on my own.

      Is there anybody that can ring and talk for you?   as long as you're there with them and give your permission that's okay.

      Sorry I meant to say as far as I know that is but it went funny and posted it before I'd finished.

      I did ask my mum but she told me to just wait. someone did call for me a week or so ago but they not long received my report from the assessment so they had no recent update yet. I not long got a letter saying they received information and reports. I heard the report gets seen by a few people and they add heir own comments on it? Not sure if that's true?? I've seen on this forum that it's like another 4 weeks for a decision as people are saying it's an 8 week wait.
