DLA to PIP

Hi

My daughter who has a severe learning disability is moving form DLA to PIP . I have sent off the form which i completed with the help of guides two weeks ago . My daughter currently receives high rate care and motorbility

I rang this morning to check to check they had received the form and they said they had and that she will be sent an appointment for a medical as everyone has a medial

Is that they case everyone now has a medical ? I know people who haven't ?

I sent of lots and lots of supporting evidence care plan , educational psychology report, speech and language report etc .

She also receives ESA and we didn't have a medical for that . Feeling anxious
Thanks

Ok thanks Gordon

Hi Gordon

Just a update .

I have rang the DWP as I still haven't heard anything in relation to a date for the medical for my daughter . They advised that ATOS are dealing with it and they gave me a number.
I have spoke with them and they have advised that they are still looking at all the information and it hasnt been decided yet if a face to face medical is needed .

my daughters friend who also has learning disabilities has just recently had their Assesment and was advised by the assessor that the appointment had been a waste of his time as clearly the person isn't independent in any way and that it hadn't been nessecssy for a face to face medical .
I very anxious about the whole thing but my disabled daughter is blissfully unaware and I guess that's the main thing
Thanks for all your help

Hi Gordon

I received a letter from the DWP saying that the previous information held from the DLA claim is no longer available as i had asked them to use it for the PIP claim . The letter has asked me to provide more health information even though i have supplied 11 recent reports,

I called the DWP and spoke with a decision maker who was unsure why i had received the letter but told me to send in all the old health information in if i had copies which i do have.

I then spoke to ATOS who have advised me that they have been able to do a paper based assesment and advised that thier report is ready to be sent offto the DWP. When i told her about the letter i had received she told me not to bother sending anything else in as the assesment has been completed .

DO you think I should send it in anyway Gordon ?

Thanks
