- This week I'm updating you on whether my PIP reassessment was successful (I talked about what to expect from a telephone assessment in this vlog: • What To Expect From A ... and I talk about filling out the assessment paperwork in this one: • My Tips for Your Perso... )
I'm also talking you through the basics of how PIP is scored, how decisions are made and how the PIP award is broken down.
Some super useful websites:
www.mypipassessment.co.uk
www.entitledto.co.uk (this has a great benefits calculator)
www.citizensadvice.org.uk/ben... (CAB has lots of info around PIP and claiming)

Thank for your advice on your video
You are welcome!
I used to receive personal independence payments and unexplained they stopped my payments. Right before Christmas and my birthday. So I think the reason why personal independence payments stop was because I recently had a medical assessment done to see how I was going and there asked me questions and asked from scale 1-10 how I felt about my everyday basic things I needed to do. I will upload the paper work so you can see. So in the assessment I was asked about my ability to cook and clean. I mentioned food in the process only because I recently got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. So I have to watch my diet. I forgot to mention to the woman doing the assessment. The reason why I mentioned food was because I recently got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes so there fire it required healthy food for me. On the 19 Th of November I recently had a phone call from DWP in regards of personal independence payment and I just came from being hospitalised from the dangers of diabetes. I have uncontrolled diabetes due to my stress and confusion. I have been told by my Gp it’s impossible for me to work because of my diabetes. My risks are comma or losing a leg.
I didn’t get to say that I had Anxiety as I had forgotten to say that to them and I think I won’t be getting PIP. I made a mistake that I didn’t get to say much apart from that I was depressed. Is there anyway to contact them to add more notes what they have written or is that it no turning back?
I’ve had a little look because I was unsure of the answer to this, I think the best thing for you to do would be to call the PIP helpline PIP enquiry line
Telephone: 0800 121 4433 and explain to them, they can either add what you need to say or tell you how you can add further information! Hope that helps x
My telophone call is on the 20 may i am really worried as my anxiety is really bad
my pip expire on jan 2023 they all read send me reivew form to return by 2 march 2022, I had bad expirence back on 2020... won on court in 2020, I wish I dont need to go back to court again and deal with pip
Thank you for your information. I have chronic anxiety. My assessment is this Thursday on the phone. I did my claim online so I don't have my information. On what I put.Shall I tell them this. Thank you.
You can tell them, but they will basically ask you questions you should know the answer to so for example, can you plan a journey on your own. So it’s not 100% essential for you to have the information you filled out online! I hope your assessment goes well. Good luck x
Thank you. I will let you know.Thanks
I have a new claim phone assessment soon, it prob wont go well since even though I av chromic pain and repeat meds, my medical exams (MRI & XRays) av shown nufin; even physio signed me off after 3 visits. Lets c wat happens.
I hope it goes well for you - sometimes it can go better than you think! Good luck x
I had my assessment today for the first time. May I ask do you normally get the scores points report before they make a decision or you get them together? Thanks
Hi! You usually get the scores at the same time as the decision - you’ll get a letter with the decision and that will include a breakdown of your scores as well! X
Thank you so much
I am in receipt of attendance allowance high rate can I cancel that and apply for P
PPI
Hi! I’m sorry - I don’t know the answer to this. Your best bet is to give them a call and ask - this is the number for the attendance allowance helpline - 0800 731 0122 apologies that I can’t be more helpful!
No attendance allowance is for over 65s. You can only get pip over 65 if you claimed it before retirement then it carries on.
See if nothing has changed from u first put ur pip in whst do u put down for the 3 questions i dont just want to write no change do i have to say no change i.e still have to buy preped meals or still cant walk longer then 20 metre or what do u suggest im so stressed about it i got help with my first i also lost all my cloud were my first pip form was stored cant remember dates from mu first conditions that i put down i suffer brain fog which isnt helpimg and i have anxiety disorder and no wau i could face going to a face to face assessment any tips plesse
Hello! Yes - you can just write that there has been no change since your last review. Anything you can remember though, it’s worth putting that as well - so eg , I still cannot walk more than 20 metered. I think at the moment it is still mostly telephone assessments and if you feel you can’t do a face to face then you can likely request a telephone appointment! My best tips are (and I know it’s easier said than done). Try not to stress, have a reward or treat waiting for when you’ve finished, once it’s done, put it out of your mind. Take your time, don’t let them rush you, and always base your answers on what is your WORST day. Good luck xx
Got my Telephone assessment coming up in a few days slightly worried about what they’re going to ask. Like are they going to ask for Real name and National Insurance ID etc before asking the real questions?
I honestly can’t remember if they asked my National Insurance number, they confirmed my identity with my date of birth, name and I think first line of address. I hope your assessment goes well x
I took the assessment and they did in fact ask me for my National Insurance Number and I kept on stuttering, as wasn’t sure what to say apart from being honest about my mental health issue.
So I got my results back and put lies about me that I don’t have any disabilities even though I do have some like communication issues when talking face to face and anxiety that I feel alone. I scored 0 on everything.
They put lies about me*
@@mirandasnellu9606 hi! I’m sorry to hear that, that isn’t good at all. If they have lied you should definitely appeal the decision- there is some good info here on appealing by doing a ‘mandatory reconsideration’ www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/appeals/mandatory-reconsideration/ this will make them look at your case again and reassess if needed x x
Got letter today to say I failed mediatory reconsideration for pip after paying Fightback £96 to make this claim, I have been without any money for 3 years. It’s my wife that pays for everything including over payments to the DWP and council. Life means nothing to me anymore
Sorry to hear this 🙏🏽
@@JuniperCo Months later after many correspondence and a tribunal, I won the case. Hope when the renewal comes early next year all can go fine.
Can you include photos as evidence?
Yes you can. Include it with any additional evidence you send to them. Photos should ideally be clear and appropriate. Hope that helps x
When a pip case manager rings you for a telephone assessment while the client is waiting for tribunal case to be sorted is this a common procedure
Hi, sorry, I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to this. There’s some advice and info on this CAB page about tribunals - www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/pip/appeals/your-hearing/ apologies that I cannot be more helpful
can you tell me how long u waited for results please i have my reassesment on tuesday .
Hi! I waited about 8 weeks for mine. The wait is usually 8-12 weeks x
Thank you for getting back too me and letting me know x
do you have to score minimum 8 on each area assessed or do you add all scores in activities of daily living together to get award - so some could be a collection of small score like 2 or 3
It’s all added together - so no minimum scores. Just overall total at end x
@@Estellosaurus does that mean if have lots of 2 or 3 scores that will add up to get award
@@Estellosaurus I have Huntingdon's Disease which is worse than MS and am going to apply but so nervous
@@midlifecrisiswoman3898 that’s correct - when you get you award letter it should explain what you scored for what as well! I wish you luck with your application! Xx
Hi do you or anyone else know the answer to my question as I have had a assessment which I thought went horrible but some how after I got my report I scored 11 pts via the assessment but I’m told it will take up to 8 weeks to get a decision but my question is this can dwp lower the score if they don’t agree with the assessment? As I’m told they could ignore the report and still score me 0 and this is causing me so much stress and anxiety trying to understand what’s the point of the assessment if they can just ignore it
So I can’t find a definitive answer to this but, generally it seems that they make a decision based on your assessment - if an assessor scored you 11 it seems very unlikely that the DWP ‘Decision Maker’ would then score you a 0. My best advice at this point would be try not to worry - hopefully your decision will come through quickly and you will get what you need. Apologies I cannot be more helpful x
@@Estellosaurus thanks for the quick reply much appreciated 👍
Does anyone know how long it's currently taking to get a decision after sending back your review form
They took 3 months to get back to me. I received a letter last Friday confirming my telephone appointment . Today @ 10:30
12 weeks seems to be what they are saying at the moment
@@pauladesire1397 thanks for letting me know You have given me more information than the people who work for DWP !!?
@@pauladesire1397 sorry I forgot to say good luck with the assessment
@Kirsty Atkinson You’re welcome
How do they score the distances you can walk ?
So this page has a fairly useful guide www.turn2us.org.uk/Benefit-guides/Personal-Independence-Payment-Test/Move-around basically, if you can walk more than 200m unaided, that’s 0 points. The website above explains the points system pretty well so I hope that helps!
@@Estellosaurus Thank you. Great videos BTW
Dwp are money grasping . I received no mobility element because I can read a map and can walk 50m with a stick. I am therefore not eligible for a bus pass,which is probably a good thing as by the time I got to a bus stop and waited I would probably have to urinate in a bottle in front of everybody. I can walk about 500m which allows me to walk to the end of the estate and back before I need the toilet at the grand old speed of a quarter of a mile an hour. It is a money saving exercise rather than showing any interest in mobility.
Have you appealed the decision?! It sounds like you should . It is a very frustrating system!
I had heart attack 8 days ago. My pip tomorrow ; my support worker with me for the assessment
I’m so sorry about your heart attack and I hope you are on the mend. Good luck for your assessment tomorrow x
I don't know how to claim, i mean using phones trigger my anxiety don't even talk my mother by phone how am I supposed to be assessed by phone, same with my assessment for ESA, they have got more difficult really s I don't like going to them, don't like travelling to them, i had sit in a room on my own couldn't sit in the waiting room with other people, i just wanted to leave
Hello! I’m sorry to hear that - I can’t imagine how difficult that is for you. I’ve been trying to find some useful advice for you, but unfortunately I can’t seem too. What I would suggest is that if you are able too, you can email your local citizens advice team, explain in your email that you cannot do the phone, they can then help and signpost you. You can do your initial claim in writing and then it looks like you can ask to have an advocate - so a family member, carer or independent person that can advocate on your behalf to help you get your claim through. I’d definitely recommend seeking advice from Citizens Advice to start with as they can definitely help you get started in the best way for you! Hope that helps and sorry I don’t have a better answer for you. Good luck xx
Hi just to let you know that my telephone medical is on the 21st and I am worried.
I don't know about the hat, but the decision maker probably has a lanyard!!
🤣🤣🤣
Yup be honest and say everything, also history of medical history. I applied for pip for my mental health, got awarded straight away with enhanced daily living and standard mobility, but I'm going to appeal as I got 10 points on mobility but need 2 more points for the enhanced.
Good luck with your appeal! You are absolutely right about being honest and having a good medical history! X
@@Estellosaurus thank you, I found out today I won my appeal, I got enhanced for both. Thank god. I didn’t want to go to tribunal!!
@@papaevolve1305 congratulations! I’m so pleased for you
judges make mistakes and you need to keep complaining about poor scoring
I like how you assumed the decision maker to be a male, after all men built the world we live in
@Tracy Whittaker it is the world we live in now, gotta be politically correct these days
Haha omg are u serious “all men built the world we live in” were the effin f@ck did u get that from
