PIP

Hi everyone,

Well the brown envelope from the DWP landed yesterday, enhanced care, enhanced mobility and not to be reassessed until January 2027. What a relief after all the worry and stress especially after hearing how people with prosthetic limbs were not eligible! Thanks for advice given on here.

Take care

Hi .iv declined somewhat and feel i need enhanced pip now but am too scared to face another form and the possibilty i may even lose my standard pip.has anyone tried to go from one to another?

Hi like you my MS declined I was not on the enhanced daily living for PIP,I decided I would apply without having the invite letter,I did have my social workers care plan and a letter from my MS nurse,I did not have to go for a face to face assessment which was a relief.I think if you can get enough supporting evidence of how your MS effects each of the criteria this will go a long way to gaining a higher award of PIP.

Good luck with your application.

WOW. 10 years. I only got 3 years in 2015 so have to go through it all again next year.

When it was DLA it has been granted indefinitely.

FANTASTIC one worry less.

Hiya Mel.

Great news!

I also got ‘ongoing award’ with a little review if anything has changed in 10 years time.

Erm… unless that change it yet again. What will it be called …POOP (personal, outward, organised payment)!

Take care,

Even though it is time !limited for 3 years you should get a smaller form sent to you after around two and a half years. Its a form that is checking how things are (I can’t remember the exact title). For each of the 12 +2 defined activities you are asked if things have got better, there has been no change or things have got worse. Where things are worse there is a box where you can describe how things of got better or worse. If you tick the no change boxes then your award is renewed, for another 3 years. If you tick the gotten worse box then DWP may decide to carry out a full review as they would do with a new application.

The form is a simple one to complete if there is no change and it is an awful lot better then having to fill out a new full application.
