Unexpected PIP review form received.

Hi there,

Just a thought. Presuming my current review is successful, as I will
reach pension age early next year, will it possibly be an ongoing award or is that too much to ask?

Here's hoping,

I feel for you, and of course anyone in this situation. There is no doubt reviews exacerbates our conditions. We can effectively become worse with all the stress that comes with it.

For me it was being sick after eating (I mean toast!)......as that's all I could manage.

A couple of years ago my GP wrote a letter to ESA to keep me in support group. When I went for the assessment, the nurse had read the letter from my GP. So, from my point of view, the DWP are not all awful.

Unless the woman who rang me was great at the job, relaxing claimants to trick them!!

You could call me an optimistic pessimist!!!

When I get the letter ( and envelopes are now white) where I live........I will post my result........

If any of this helps to ease your anxiety then it's worth posting........

Thanks Catherine,

I should have added that I have two letters that say my condition is lifelong from two different healthcare professioals. Also my previous award was for three years.

Regards,

Phrank.

PIP review :-
I too got the extension letter until 2022, then at the end of April bosh, in came the review form!

After days I posted it on 7 May in along with 3/4" of copies dating back years, as the were all pertinent to me today. In my opinion it demonstrates that your ailments are not just a flash in the pan. Had it all recorded, was only an extra £1.80, again well worth it.

That's great news to hear and read, as it gives hope that they are finally beginning to get true human beings in place, when it is most needed.

So, you had the review form, having had a previous award and of which you would have sent a big chunk of the same evidence in for the previous awarded claim, but also sent same copies in again with your review too?

I'm just deciding whether to send all the same previous evidence that went in for my last award, plus anything new of course in the last 3-years?

Many thanks in advance.
