Does Anyone On Ab

[emmie]

claim PIP, Personal Independence Payments.

[emmie]

I ask only if you have transferred from DLA, how long it takes to get an answer from the DWP.

[dannyk13]

Don't even know what that is.

Thank Emmie. Doesn't apply to me.

[emmie]

OK Danny, perhaps it does to someone on here

[emmie]

I haven't heard from the them as to whether I am eligible or not. Do they take a while to get back to you...

[TheDevil]

Emmie on the link you have provided there is a fair bit of info on eligibility.

https://www.gov.uk/pip/eligibility


Without giving a load of person info out i'm not sure people could tell you if you are eligible

[emmie]

it was mostly if they take a long while to get back to you... as it's been many weeks since i heard anything.

[TonyV]

emmie cannot think who government has outsourced the service to but it is difficult upto 8 weeks for home appointment.

[emmie]

Hi Tony, i had the assessment more than a month ago, am waiting to hear something, had hoped that they would let me know before Christmas...

[scorpiojo]

Do you feel up to phoning them, emmie?

[TonyV]

emmie give DWP a call then

[emmie]

Jo Not really - i confess this has been weighing on my mind and making me worried they are going to turn me down, and that it have to go to a tribunal..

[TonyV]

emmie by the way your payments should be back dated to your assessment date.

[TonyV]

emmie they are just making life difficult for you request a home visit.

[emmie]

Tony, I had the home visit already, am just biting my nails waiting for a letter to say I am eligible or not, if not eligible then i have to go the whole route of appeal

[emmie]

do you claim PIP Tony

[TonyV]

emmie I used to but due to my income am not able to anymore when it went from DLA to PIP

[emmie]

ok mate, thanks for the advice

[TonyV]

emmie just another thought can you get to a CAB near you for advice?
