Pip initial phonecall

Hi, I sent forms back in middle of January, today i got a txt
from atos saying they have appointments in my area over next 7 days if I want to call them, so I have a couple of questions.

As I received this txt does that mean I'm going to have to have a ftf?

And secondly if I don't ring them will they send me out an appointment anyway? Any help be appreciated..

Thanks Gordon, I thought as I hadn't heard anything that they may of done a paper assement, oh well , if I rang them will they know if the medical evidence I sent in was received? I sent psychiatrist letters, gp report, esa report etc, I wonder if it was actually read?

Hi a quick update, after having a f2f on the 8th of March I got a letter today dated 18th of March, I have awarded pip standard daily living till 2020, but didn't get mobility, was awarded the standard 4 points that everybody seems to get.

I'm quite happy with result but a little annoyed I only got 4 points for mobility as i need somebody with me to go to unfamiliar places due to mental health conditions.

A couple of questions, is it hard to get awarded mobility if u have mental health problems? It seems its hard to, I was awarded it on dla for needing somebody with me to go to unfamiliar places so don't know why I didn't get it this time, I read something about dwp changing rules but didn't understand it properly? I know I can't get enhanced mobiility and would of been happy with standard mobility but I'm unsure if I should ask for a mandatory consideration and all that extra stress for like extra 20 pounds a week, plus i was only given 8 points for daily living so if I was to appeal I might lose the daily living. So may be be happy with what I've got, just wondered if it's hard now to get mobility component on mental health grounds?

Also one other question do u need to apply for the severe disability premium or do dwp send u a form?
