Starting PIP process now

Hi as you know I am moving from DLA to PIP .I have a new report from one of my consultants and I am not sure at all if he used the correct words as it reads M xx tells me that he suffers chest pain,breathlessness etc even during a 20 metres of walking and pauses several times and can take 4/5 mins to complete.His next paragrapgh says how it leaves me exhausted for rest of day etc and he says this is consistent with his health problems.He also done a a letter in relation to a treadmill test in 2010 (last one on his record) displaying poor exercise ability only on it for 4mins stopped because of fatigue.
Would you think these reports would help me in my claim.

No, DMs are not medically trained so they must get medical advice from either ATOS or Capita before they make a Decision, with the exception of the claimant not meeting the PIP eligibility criteria in the first place.


Gordon,
I made the phone call today to start my DLA to PIP transfer and found it rather stressful. I thought about big drop in cases being sent on to Capita etc, and wondered if claimants are being harassed out of their claims. Just giving up !
I was asked for the same information more than once, having to spell out words repeatedly. I too was asked if I wanted to use any parts of my DLA claim as evidence in my new claim. I said it was years since my DLA claim and I would send any new evidence in due course.Statements were read to me on which I had to agree in order to process my claim. There were thinly veiled threats about prosecution and 'other' consequences if my claim was found to be false or inaccurate. The questioner was talking quickly all through, and many times I had to ask her to repeat her comments. Altogether, a daunting experience.

Hi I wonder could you answer the following please.
When I done my PIP1 on teplehone I was asked was it ok for them to send me messages to my phone,well I did get one saying about please post form if you have no done so.Anyway my form 2 is away back to them ,as yet they did not said the got it but I know they did as I got it rec del.Do they keep you updated through the process by text then.
We have a new post man doing our post at the min and he is putting peoples post in different houses,I am hoping if a letter comes from PIP it will come to me,if they send a letter out for a f2f and I did not show up cause I never got the letter,that would be me loosing out then.
