Review of PIP recommendation by HP

Hi Everyone

Just had my home assessment by MP who was a nurse and it seemed to go alright but you can never tell and was told she would recommend a two year reassessment.

Although this sounded hopeful that I may have passed the criteria for some kind of PIP award (currently on high DLA both mobility & care)
I thought that if you’re over State pension age, which I am (69) you would get a 10 year award with a soft touch (whatever that means) on review. I didn’t mentioned this to her but she said that I might get worse and therefore be awarded a higher rate on review.

I have been on DLA for almost 20 years on the higher rate for both and don’t think my condition is going to change. So I am reading into what she said as I may get the lower rate for both.

Does anyone know if that is correct?

Thanks for all your help and advice it has really helped me.

Thank you BIS. I have rung the DWP today and asked for a copy of the assessment report. They said they have just received it and would send it to me. I asked them if they knew when a decision would be made about my claim and they said in approximately 10 weeks time but this is approximation and they doing them in date order.
