Short pip assesment mental health

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi my son had his pip assesment last week at home and i was very surprised it lasted only 35 min

He is 35 and has psychosis and anxiety

Does your mam do your cooking

Does your mam see to your letters

Does your mam deal with your budgeting

Is this normal as she never actualy asked if he could???

    Hi,

    What they asked depends on what was written on the form mostly.  My daughter had hers 3 weeks ago at home also. He was here for 1 hour and 20 mins. She was asked every single question that relates to the PIP2 form. So cooking,washing, budgeting, going out, crossing roads, reading, meeting and taling to people, mobility (which she has no issues with) dressing etc etc so everything. I'm her appointee so i answered every single question on her behalf.

    Length of assessment times vary and no one can really tell you if it was a good or bad thing that your sons was short. You can ring DWP and ask for a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision will be as mostly they go with that report. It's rare for them to go angainst it. Good luck.
