Question re medical report rec'd before DM letter was created by Petal
Hi, a week after my home assessment for a new claim for PIP by ATOS I called DWP and requested a copy of my medical report.
According to the daily living descriptors I have only scored 6 points and 0 on mobility. Natuarally I am unhappy with the scoring. I have a question, on page 21 of the report it says that the functional restriction in this report has been present over 3 months and is likely to remain over 9 months. It also says based on the claimants likely future circumstances it would be appropriate to review the claim in 2 years. Does that indicate I may stand a chance of getting standard rate daily living or will I get nothing based on the scoring?
Thanks

Hi Petal and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
I agree that the report sounds contradictory. I'm afraid the Decision Makers rarely go against the HCA recommendation - although it is not unheard of. All you can do is await the Decision Letter, they are currently taking around 8 weeks following the return of your file to DWP.

The MA also noted down that the claimant is on a waiting list to see healthy minds so a quick review is advised.

Thank you Mrs H, DWP received the report on the 30th of Sep, still waiting for the decision. I have subscribed to b & w and looks like I will need the support!
