sending evidence after telephone assessment

Hi Brenda,

I think it's a difficult one to answer unfortunately - I don't think there's an exact timescale on when the DWP will send out the decision, but you can still send your evidence, and it'll get added to your file, and even if they have made their decision before your evidence arrives, you can always apply for a Mandatory Reconsideration, so you'll be fine either way.
I know it can be stressful and worrying, especially this time of year with the delays etc, and RM losing mail, but you still have a few further options regardless to continue with your claim.

Hope this helps,

Regards, Chris.

Hi Brenda,

That's correct - It isn't means tested. The only changes that need to be reported are:

You must contact the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) enquiry line if:

your personal details change, for example your name, address or doctor
the help you need or your condition changes
your condition has worsened and you’re not expected to live more than 12 months
you go into hospital or a care home
you plan to go abroad for more than 4 weeks
you’re imprisoned or held in detention
your immigration status has changed, if you’re not a British citizen

0800 121 4433 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

The money situation - you could contact someone like Stepchange. They're a free financial advice based company. You can find their details online, for whatever way you wish to contact them.

Hope this helps,

Regards, Chris.

Hi Brenda

I would not worry about it, what you need to do is contact PIP and ask for a copy of the assessors report called a PA4. The report will give you the heads up on how well you did or did not do at the assessment.
