PIP review. was created by Sammianne
Could you please advise here.
My PIP review, 3rd one since 2017 which was my original award year.
This review my conditions have deteriorated significantly over last 2 years, prior to that had been a slow deterioration - even last assesment the assesor wrote at end when recommending review time and reasons he put that he expected my co ditiins to deteriorate.
Anyway after extending time to get review back to them because I needed help to complete and times I was unwell, my review was sent to them including extensive consultant gp and occ health reports that also detailed effects with explanations.
I sent it tracked and next day delivery signed for on 3rd June this year.
It initially moved surprisingly fast. It was signed for at 6.48am on 4th June. In the afternoon of same day 4th June it was scanned and went into.live review on their system.
I rang DWP 10 days ago to see where it was currently. I asked to speak to a case manager as I know they have mkre access to someones PIP record than PIP helpline does.
Spoke to case manager and she had looked at my file and said that it had been 'triaged' on 15th June as they try to see if can be done 'in house' but that as my review could result in increase of award that they had to send to assesment provider, so it was currently sitting in batch waiting to gonto assesment provider as she explained that they arent sent individually. She also advised that if there was any increase, its backdated from date review started. That surprised me, I didnt know they did that for reviews. She also confirmed my PIP extended for a further year to July 2027 of which I received written confirmation..
Now that was 15th June it entered that 'batch, its now 4th August. As of Friday just gone when I rang Maximus(who cover Newcastle/Sunderland/North East area) and they still dont have it, so its still stuck in a batch.
So how long do you know do they sit in that batch before getting sent over electronically to Maximus, & how often if a review would mean moving frkm 11 points daily living to enhanced and 4 points no payment for mobility to 12 points enhanced, could that be done bynpaper review with all eveidence and form I sent or in thise circumstances does it always go to assesment with that kind of increase in question?

Hi Sammianne
Unfortunately you have Maximus as your HAAS provider. There are reports of backlogs of many months with claimants awaiting a review decision.
I cannot say if your review will be paper based. You can phone Maximus and request a paper based review.
I get the impression, though please correct me, that this is a DWP initiated review. If that is the case then PIP backdating only commences from the date of the decision not the date the forms were submitted.
If on the other hand you requested the review owing to a medical deterioration then the backdating commences from the date of your request.
Let us know how you get on.
