PIP Assessors Report

Hi to all,

I have a query! After nigh on 24 months my PIP review has finally been completed by the PIP assessor/s

This was confirmed by the DWP, and they also said that their DM's decision could take up to , and or could be over 6 weeks.

My question is this! When should i phone up the DWP, and ask them to send me out a copy of the PIP assessors report ( is it the ARP report) i don't remember the name of the pip report.

I assume i am rightful in thinking that even though the DM hasn't made his/her final decision on my PIP review, that its ok for me to request the PIP assessors report right ?

All advice and comments would be welcomed.

Thanks in advance, regards to all.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your reply to my query . Yes my PIP review was paper based.

So i shall get in touch with the DWP and ask for the PIP PA3 Report.

Thanks.

Hi bis,

Thanks for your reply, i have got the PA3 v2 pip assessors report, even though the DM has not made a decision yet.

I have just posted a few things about the contents of the report written by the assessor. I found the report was ok in parts but totally wrong in others ie descriptors for certain activities. such as i can use aids in the kitchen so scored 2 points, but i never scored more even though i have fobromyalgia, chronic fatigue, and 4 other physical related illnesses, which cause me severe pain and exhaustion. The assessor dismissed this.

It's like saying mr fibro can do himself a small bow of cold cereals, therefore he has no problem with a grip, he has a firm grip, therefore he does not need any help or supervision with preparing a meal. ie chopping up spuds and carrots etc.

So now i have got to try somehow in a MR and or appeal to undermine the assessors report in certain activities to gain the higher rate of both components of pip.


regards.
