Has anyone had a quick Pip Decision after a telephone Assesment? was created by shocksl
I had mine last week. Receieved a text stating that I will hear within 8 weeks from the DPW.
I guess my question is, has anybody on here had it quicker? or do they usually drag out the full 8 weeks?
Lastly, will there be more assesments i.e face to face , physical examinations etc? Medical checks?

Hi shocksl
Eight weeks is an approximate time frame. You may hear earlier, you may hear at exactly the eight-week mark, or it may be even longer.
There won't be any more assessments. If the DWP requires any further information - eg from the GP - they will contact them. (This rarely happens).

Hi, I had my telephone assessment yesterday. Not got a clue how it went and spent half last night mulling it over. This morning l got the text saying they had the assessment report & 6-8 weeks etc. I rang DWP & asked for a copy of the report which they are sending today. It won't give me final answers but l'll have an inkling which way it's going to go & have extra time to work on any further action l might need (hopefully none). Might be worth a call?

Hi Ali, when you get your PA4, if it is point-losingly inaccurate, if you are quick you can write to contest it. Write to 'The Decision Maker' at last address they wrote from. Avoid ever accusing of lying even if they actually did. Keep it cold and neutral, 'appears to have overlooked,' 'has not taken xy document into account' etc
This can save an MR and appeal - I'm sure it did last time with our daughter [2 tribunals before...].
Hope it isn't necessary but if it is, go for it ASAP. Thanks again to B&W as I learned about this chance on here - DWP don't advertise it!
best,
Denby

The PIP assessor contacts the GP before the telephone (or face to face) appointment. Both my sons received copies of the dwp invoice from our gp, luckily we dont pay lol.
Thankfully, their assessments only lasted under 5 minutes each, she said they had all information to make a decision and just wanted to verify a few questions and the dwp would be in touch in under 6 weeks (this was 2 weeks ago)

The dwp told me they can only sent the report AFTER they send the decision letter because people were using the points in the report to work out their award (or no award)
