Had a call from Health Professional about my PIP claim but I'm confused was created by Anxious Anonymous
Used ChatGPT to do this
I had a phone call with a professional from PIP, who mentioned that I had a lot going on and wouldn't be sent for an assessment; they wanted to clarify a few things and then said they had done a report. While I am still worried, they have been in contact with neurology, neuropsychology, my mental health team, and my GP. I thought they weren't allowed to have ongoing conversations with different professionals and could only contact those listed on the form.

So had I even though I am profoundly deaf!!! I think they can contact anyone for information .
I am worried too now because I do not know why they called me. I asked would I have to go to an assessment and the lady said "you might"
Such a worry -

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Hi Anxious Anonymous
They can contact anyone they consider necessary. Many claimants have more professionals than can even be listed on the form.

Hi AnnieK
They should have explained why they called. I assume it was to clarify something about your needs.

yes I think it was to say they are writing to my GP. But I explained I was profoundly deaf - it is such a hassle and worry

Yes they are obtaining my medical records. Should I ask at this stage for a copy. This is a review and I will go to Tribunal if necessary
