PIP just got refused.

And a footnote from experience.
If you can't do the diary your wife can. I successfully did one for our adult child living 'independently' by phoning daily and noting the results in a simple table on the computer.
Columns for date, rough time called, response, what this meant for PIP descriptors.
We are all wishing you both well.

Hello everyone,

Thank you all so much for your encouragement and nice words

I had my phone call today from the disability resource centre.
Briefly the very nice lady took me through a lot of the same questions that the assessor asked, and then wrote me a very good mandatory reconsideration letter.
After i had sent her my original application for pip she adjusted this letter to include everything.
She then said she would print the letter and send it to DWP for me, so i don’t even have to call the DWP to request an MR!

I phoned the DWP last friday to request my assessors report, (45 mins waiting) which they said would take 7 to 10 working days to get to me.

Considering the dwp took 10 days to get the refusal letter to me and will take a further 10 days to send me the assessors report, i am so glad this place existed to do it all for me.

I just hope she did it right and hope it doesn’t matter that i didn’t wait for the assessors report?
But i guess this will be more useful at the appeal stage because i don’t fancy my chances now for getting a good MR.

Thanks
Adrian

Did you record the call ? always helps to shut assumptions down

you can file a tribunal claim without having to attend stating the reasons your health precludes you from doing so

Hi Adrian. I went from zero points to Enhanced Both at Appeal. It can happen. Glad the resource centre has been helpful. Take care.
