PIP

I had my f2f just over a fortnight ago. I did not ask for a home visit but when I received the appointment letter it was a home visit. which was good because if i was having a bad day then I was concerned that I would have had to cancel.

I called last week and asked for a copy of the report which I received a few days later. The report has quite a few inaccuracies in it. She only asked me to do a few exercises like pinching her finger and raising my arms and putting them behind my back. The report said I could raise both arms and put them behind my back which is not accurate because I can't. and couldn't with my left arm. I was not asked to do any leg exercises because thankfully she could see that I would not have done any without being in a great deal of pain and falling over.

Overall the report said that I have problems with mobility and would not reliably walk the 20m and that I would not be able to prepare meals and that I need help washing my lower body and putting socks and trousers on. The report said that I was worse than I actually am because it says that I am like this everyday but I did say that I have better days. So the report is inaccurate but overall in some parts in a positive way for my claim.

When I asked for a copy of the report the lady did stress that it could be changed. Does anyone know how or why a report by their so called health professional can be changed?

I received my PIP verdict yesterday, I scored 9 points for daily living and 12 points for moving around, and this is what I thought I should get.

It goes on to say that I have been awarded the enhanced rate from January 2019 to March 2023. Hopefully my stress levels can get back to normal before March 2023. Obviously I am delighted with the outcome, and so glad that I do not have to ask for a reconsideration, because it has been stressful enough, and I can only sympathise with the people who do get the points they deserve.

I would like to thank Gordon and the site for all the help that this site has given me because I am so glad I found the site because it has helped me a lot with filling in my PIP application.
