Well.
I got my copy of my face to face pip assessment today.
To say i am fuming is an under statement.
It started off ok but when it came to the assessor putting her replies to my PIP2 form questions. every single reply she put to each and every question i answered was exactly the same reply word for word on her every response to my questions.
I am so mad. Just have to wait now till i get the decision makers letter now.

Is this just another way that DWP touchier the claimant?
Had my PIP face to face.
Got the text saying that DWP had my assessment from atos.
This morning a Brown DWP letter lands through my door.
Heart in my mouth and took me 20 mins to pluck up the nerves to open said letter.
And its just a bloody letter saying that they have all the info they need for my pip claim and no need for me to contact them.
Talk about stress.

Hi Karl
It's a standard letter that all claimants receive.

Ok. got my PIP letter today.
I have been awarded enhanced mobility and standard car for 3 years.
i was 2 points off getting enhanced care. because they only marked me for the following.
eating and drinking 0 (even though my wife has to cut my meats up, they said there is nothing in their criteria to allow for the cutting of meats).
washing and bath 3 points as i need help to get in and out of the bath/shower. nothing for my wife has to wash my lower body and hair and back of neck.
managing toilet needs, 2 as i need an aid to wipe my bottom, nothing even though i said on my pip form and assessment when pain is sever my wife has to help me on and off the toilet and clean my bottom.
planning and following a journey 0. even though on my pip form and assessment i said i dont go anywhere alone due to falls and stumbles.
the next thing i my pip does not start until the 24 July.
my last dla payment went into my bank on the 3rd June which means my next payment was due today. But nothing has been paid into my bank.

Congratulations on the award that you have received.
Are you sure that the Decision Letter says the Descriptors do not include cutting up meat?
Eating and drinking
b. Needs –
(i) to use an aid or appliance to be able to take nutrition; or
(ii) supervision to be able to take nutrition; or
(iii) assistance to be able to cut up food. 2 points.
You won't score for physical issues in the Going Out activity, this only considers cognitive, sensory or mental health issues.
You will have to wait until you have received your first full PIP payment, this may not be on 24th to see whether you have been paid the right money during the transfer. PIP is paid four-weekly in arrears, DLA is usually paid four-weekly in arrears but some claimants are paid three-weekly in arrears and one week in advance.
