@Heidi415 this is my 1st renewal but knew that a f2f would def be happening lol. Like you i think there prioritising the people that were refused the 1st time. But where still getting paid but doesn't make it any easier with the worrying. Your right i find this renewal worse than my initial claim, i think its because where left in limbo. From a couple of posts it seems from 6wk to 9wk and longer depending what Area you live, so god knows. All we can do is keep updating our posts i think till we hear anything, that way it will give us some insight rather than None At All!!

Well my reassessment didn't go well I have been denied pip and because of their stupid postal system and the time limits that are imposed on us but not them, they work to guidelines that they don't have to stick to, I have had to apply for a mandatory reconsideration. Without the benefit of my report. I now have a copy of the report and it varies from inaccurate to down right lie. I don't expect DWP to change their decision based on the MR and I've got no clue how long it will take for that decision to come through but I will be taking it to tribunal again no idea how long that will take but someone I know here in the southwest waited 9 months. My pip has stopped altogether as of the 19th the date of the decision. Happy days debt here I come.

I have recently been awarded PIP and the whole process took 13 weeks until i recieved a decision its one of them where you have to be very patient
-
@sarah50 really sorry to hear that you got denied pip. Was this a Review of your Original Claim?.
-
@Jo2907 hi it was a review, I was originally awarded pip until Feb 19 but in May 18 they sent me a review form as I said they stopped it on 19 Sept. So award length doesn't mean that much either does it. So angry with the whole process at the moment ?
-
@sophella8 hi your claim was very quickly sorted did you get any help with your claim?
-
@sarah50 Jesus no the award length obviously doesn't mean nothing at all. I can only imagine how angry you are??. If you don't mind me asking, what are your Problems?

@JO2097 hi, no I don't mind I have Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome along with the resulting depression from having such a reduced life.
-
@sarah50 thank you for replying. I have had Severe Depression for years and just been diagnosed with Fibromalgia and IBS, so i know how it effects you. After your Outcome i'm not holding out any hope at all Now!!. Please keep me updated of how you get on with your MR etc, because i'm sure i will be in the same boat shortly and any tips would help. Message me anytime if you want to talk about anything.

PIP isn't awarded based on a diagnosis, it's about how your conditions affect you daily and you can't compare 2 people because we're all affected differently even if we have the same conditions. I claim PIP for fibro and other conditions because of they way i'm affected by them. Lots of other people claim PIP without any problems for fibro and mental health conditions. Good luck with your claim.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
@JO2097 try not to worry as poppy said it is about how your conditions affect your daily life not your diagnoses. You can only go through the process and respond accordingly.

372,000 (21%) were recorded with ‘Musculoskeletal disease (general)’ (which includes ‘Osteoarthritis’).
Taken from DWP stats
A total of 57% of all claimants with an award will have either Psychiatric disorders or Musculoskeletal disease

@JO2097 Fibromyalgia is classed as a chronic pain condition for pip,
-
It can take a very long time and as others say no case is the same but I would always phone them if you have not heard and appeal straight away if they dont get back to you also everyone has an assessment, I have found they often put wrong things about people and you need to put this in an appeal ,depression does effect your life big time, I hope you get it eventually.

@Yadnad Thank you Yet Again for your Valueable Information. I'm Definitely more Inclined to Listen to Your Input as i'm Sure with you having Worked for the Civil Service you have the EXACT Insight and Information that people NEED, rather than people who just think they know Everything because they've been Awarded it!!. Thank you

@poppy123456 yes we already know that its based on how your condition affects you daily as youv'e already said on your previous post. I think i'll just be leaving it to the person who's job it is to Assess me and Yadnad's Valuable Advice thanks.
-
Yadnad's valuable advice... not being nasty here but this persons PIP claim was refused and the information he gave you was just stats from the internet...
