PIP I have some news.

Hi all,

I was so uptight and fed up of waiting for my PIP decision letter, today I finally plucked up the courage, as I wasn't on my own, to ring the helpline.

The call operative was very nice and after getting the data protection out of the way he confirmed a decision letter had been sent out on Friday.

Daily Living 11 points.

Mobility 22 points.

Recommended date for reassement the 8th of August 2031!

So it seems I have got there. I won't be fully satisfied until I've seen the letter, smelt it a few times, thrown it in the air once or twice to see if lands like a normal letter, and then read it about another 50 times.

I should have the letter by the end of the week,

I will not get too complacent, it only needs a shift in government policy, another election, some new DWP secretary- or even the one we have at present having a hissy fit, throwing her dummy out of the pram, and changing all the rules in an instant, to deny such as myself.

Anyway, I'm not quite celebrating yet as, to be honest, it just hasn't sunk in and won't for some time.

Thank you in advance to all the wonderful mods and members who picked me up and urged me on when all I could see was doom and gloom. Also thank you for the superb guides that I always swat up on when they are needed.

Rest assured, I will remain an active member on the forum and if I can ever be of any help to give courage and confidence to anyone (even if my benefit knowledge is a bit limited) I will be here all being well.

The kindest and most genuine regards to you all.

Hi LL26,

Thank you for your reply and your much appreciated help and advice along the way. I'll let you know as soon as my letter arrives.

Will miss my posts? Why aren't you going to read them anymore?

Lol.

Regards,

Phrank.

Hello Phrank,
I am smiling as I write this and I am so happy for you but totally understand the holding back a little until the letter arrives- I was the same when told good news from someone on the PIP helpline. But there's no denying its looking good and that's down to you not giving in.
Fingers crossed- again- this time that the letter arrives by the end of the week confirming the good news.
All the best,
Gaddy

Phrank top banana my man. It looks like an ongoing award, I remember you was close to retirement hence the 10 year point. Glad you got there in the end, a slight shame you only got the 11 points for the DL part.

Anyway enjoy your persistent victory. Pleased for you.

Hi Gaddy,

Thank you for your reply. Its such a relief, I must admit. You'll know as soon as that letter hits my doormat - hopefully by Friday.

Kind regards,

Phrank.
