Hi Gordon hope you are well,

That's good i was worried it would count towards it. As for my Christmas tree yes it would absolutely contradict my stated limitations.
I wouldn't be putting it up my family would do it they think i am being silly about not wanting to put it up!
After everything i have been through and being a member here, reading some of the awful experiences i am loath to put it up and for that person to make an ill informed judgement!
Thanks
Mary

Hi everyone hope you are all well :) i have had my home visit and medical and everything seemed to go pretty well and the assessor was nice but that doesn't count for anything. My question is requesting a copy of the report. In the information i was sent with the appointment letter they state i cant request a copy until a decision is made..i am pretty sure i was able to request a copy a few days after the medical when i made my initial application in 2016. Can i request a copy before they make the decision?

Many thanks

Unless you are in Northern Ireland where they won't release the report then you can request a copy by contacting the DWP office dealing with your claim.

Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is well i just wanted to update you all on my PIP renewal i got my letter at the end of last week and it was great news! They have still awarded enhanced rate on both Daily living and Mobility which is great and they have given me the award for 10 years which i am ecstatic about i really am so i am very very happy.
There has been a slight dampener today as i got a letter and its my ESA i received ESA 50 to complete :( so once again i am stressed and worried.
Is this normal? the exact same thing happened last time i was awarded PIP within a week of the award i had to complete ESA 50 for my ESA.
I will complete it to the best of my ability i plan to include my report from my PIP medical and the award letter i did this the last time for my application.
Can i ask the forum has anyone else had this? I am in Scotland if that makes a difference has anyone been successful with their PIP application and then had to apply again for their ESA shortly after?

Many thanks

Congratulations on getting your PIP award extended, well done.

ESA assessments are triggered by a date on the DWP computer systems, so whilst I understand your frustration it is most likely coincidence that you have received a new ESA50 to complete.

Hi Gordon thanks for your reply and hope you are well,
The same thing happened when i was awarded PIP with my first application within a week i received my ESA 50 :(
I will complete the form with the help of the guides and as i did my last application i will include my PIP report etc
Is ESA awarded for a specific time? can the length of the award be 10 years like PIP?

Thanks
