Verian Extra Costs Review for PIP.

Hey everyone.

I have received my second request from this company today to try and get me to fill in this extra cost survey regarding how I spend my PIP. I am one who would loose my entitlement under the new 4 point rule as my health is generally very poor due to multiple complexed conditions. I got my award which is on going until 2029 as a result of a tribunal which overturned the original DWP decision after requesting a mandatory reconsideration, and like many of you I found the whole process was exhausting and degrading, but here we go again.

Anyway, is this right that they should ask you to complete a voluntary survey twice and ask you to contact them personally if you don't want to complete their form and would not like to engage in any further communication?

I could disclose the information on what I spend my money on, bhut is it really their business and should they be able to put people on the rack like this?

Has anyone else had this issue arise and if so could you please tell me how you are coping with this pressure and stress because it's really having a huge effect on my wellbeing at the moment.

Thanks for reassuring me. I am just worried because if it’s not compulsory I don’t understand why they are sending reminders. I say this because if you haven’t responded, to me it would indicate that you had chosen not to answer them. I also understand that many of the questions are pertinent to mobility which is not part of the benefit that would be affected, and because it’s a kind of vote for Joe format that it’s engineered to exclude things that are really relevant. They also state that answers will be added to your current PIP scores so it’s obviously not as anonymous as they are claiming.
