PIP Mandatory reconsideration.
Posted , 4 users are following.
hi all, so after scoring 0 accross the board for pip after the assessor lied in her report i have written a lengthy letter pointing out their mistakes and backed them up with 2 letters, 1 from a specialist and 1 from my GP as well as photographic evidence of prescriptions and bathroom set up ect so there can no further errors (hopefully), i sent it all in by recorded delivery which when i phoned them on the 11/1/16 was told they received it on the 7/1/16 and it was waiting to be looked at.. Does anyone know roughly how long the mandatory reconsideration takes, the chap on the phone said up to 10 weeks but they always seem to over estimate. Has anyone else had experience of this?.
Thank you.
Gill

She also said I was well groomed and again, didn't appear depressed - I might be ill but I don't have to look/dress like a tramp - she didn't mention though that my daughter had to help me shower and get ready that morning and that I got upset explaining this because it devastates me that I have to ask for help.
I will have my ESA assessment soon I'm sure, Maybe I should turn up in my dressing gown with loads of snotty tissues trailing me from my despair. What do these people think mental illness looks like???

I heard they do this sort of thing on purpose so that the fakers give up their claim if it goes past the original decision. They don't care about the anxiety they cause genuine claimants by lying and under stating peoples abilities. The system is clearly a shambles.
My ESA claim is moving fast. I received the ESA50 form before my award letter lol. Last time I needed to claim ESA I was on it for nearly 8 months before receiving the ESA50 xx

I'm hoping to be back at work as soon as possible. Been off since June last year after being back 4 months after another period of sickness but work have been great. Hoping to be back before they have to let me go. But yes, hope after the ESA is sorted they leave me alone so I can concentrate on trying to get better.
Keep us informed with your PIP progress xx
