Old PIP claim help.

Hey guys,

Had my claim open now since 2016 and only today have I seen my points scored during my assessment. 

I was marked 0 points for managing medication despite listing on my forms "I use a dossette box to store my medication and my mother visits morning and evening to make sure I have taken these as given side effects from meds and my mental health state, I tend not to remember" 

And 0 points for budgeting. I noted "Due to side effects of meds, I have loss of concentration and desire to manage finances. This has left me in debt. My mother now oversees my income to ensure bills are paid" 

Now, I am aware it's well over the date for manager to look at it, but those points would have put me in higher group instead of standard.

Any advice?

    You are to late to appeal, as advised on this forum please request a copy of your PIP acessment report about a week after your acessment to see what your points, award may be before you receive the official award notification letter
