Decission maker call from pip was created by Merrygirl
Hi I had a phone call this afternoon from the decission maker at pip who is looking at my claim. She said that there was one question that she would like to ask and that was about my changes and what sort of date the changes started to happen (well I think that that was what she was asking) but due to my fibro my memory is not all that good. I filled my forms in on the 18th August , and every day there are different things happening due to this condition and other health issues. When I got home I thought about this call and within the hour I phoned to try and speak to the lady and I was told that a decission letter has already been done and will receive it by end off week.
Should I be a little worried on how quick the letter had been done as she said that she was going to look through the assessors report.
I was on lower rate care and nothing for mobility, I had to have a home visit as was unable to attend assessment centre. When I go out now I am in a wheelchair. Unable to do many things in doors and have to have help to do these for me.

Hi Sam,

I'm afraid we have given up trying to estimate the outcome of claims, it really is nothing more than a shot in the dark. At least you shouldn't have long to wait now if a letter has already been done.

Hi Sam
It took me 7 days to receive a letter after speaking to the Decision maker on the phone to actually getting the letter.

Just thought would share my experience so you know it will still take more than 2 or3 days and your not worried if it does not arrive immediately.

Best Wishes

I requested my notes from pip regarding my assessment. Adding up the totals for both living and mobility the assesser has put 17 for living and 12 for mobility and review in 5 years. I know that is is not up to the assesser to say what you will receive and the DM make their own minds up. But after receiving call from DM the other day. And after my call back to pip and with them saying that the results are on screen but are not opened yet to be able to read. Could I phone them to see what my results are?

You can try but the DWP really don't like to announce Decisions over the phone, you may need to wait for the Decision Letter.
