I also currently do not get mobility on my current claim.

But I added on my form that I now have a blue badge and other struggles, will they automatically add mobility if I’m entitled. Or would I need to start again?!

Hi,

I’ve finally received a text from PIP - 12 months later. Saying;

This is a message from Health Assessment Advisory Service. We conduct Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). This is for information only, to let you know that we are managing your PIP assessment. We will look at the available evidence and will contact you with an appointment if we need to arrange an assessment with you.

Does this mean I’ll be reassessed? I received a on going award 10 years ago. This was a light touch review. I was awarded via a tribunal, and they said it’s inappropriate to fix a term.

What’s the likelihood of an award that was won via court to be reduced. I’ve added that I now have a blue badge (I didn’t 10 years ago and wasn’t awarded mobility back then).

Just rather anxious

How long is this wait?!

Hi I have been told by some that I should just be happy and shut up. Not on here. However me being me that just got my back up. I know I was awarded maximum possible but it does not sit well with my internal sense of justice/fairness. Can I make my feelings known about certain scores and the statements attached without risking them reducing my award.
I got 15 points on Daily living , 12 on mobility.
There are a lot of scores I still don't agree with on both parts but 0 for moving around is really twisting my melons 🤬. At assessment, at MR I argued both times Can I send them a letter so my objections to certain scores can be noted , especially if in the future they try to reduce or stop award.

Was hoping to get a Blue badge as it's getting harder to get out and about due to pain.
Thanks again for all the help and support.

Hi there

Quick question for anyone that can help. I gave my review form November 24. Didn't hear back at all until I phones up in June, as my blue badge needed renewing and my pip was runninh out.
On the call they said an extension letter had been sent out until June 26. They then said I'd probably only hear from them in November.

Which brings me to now. I received a Maximus has my review text on monday, which went me spiraling. I'm recently coming down from a bipolar episode. As the text was so unexpected I thought I'd be dealing in winter.

My carer called the dwp today for a bit of a guide of what will happen and to tell them it would need to be by telephone. Which the gentleman confirm. He said they have until August 14th to complete it.


So, is that time frame a normal thing? As I thought they had a backlog.

Secondly. Will they give me notice of an assessment date and how long is it? How will they notify me of a date? And can it be rearranged at all?

I'd like to go for a break and now feels like my summer is in complete limbo. After having all my physical procedures done at times were I can enjoy the summer. That's to my surgeon.

I'm just quite nervous now and really disappointed at the timing.

ive recently been told that i may qualify for 50% reduction or even free car tax, as i am on PIP & have A blue badge. my car is 20 years onld so gets charged heavily for car tax. Do you know if such a scheme is correct & if so. can it be backdated to when i was first awarded PIP?? any advice is greatly appreciated
