PIP brown envelope came today HAPPY

I was very sceptical at getting the enhanced rates on all the PIP and ongoing (2026). So I need to say thanks to this site and reading everything on how to fill out the forms and of course what information they (DWP) require, proves what the Moderators state and print on here - shows that it works correctly. I did post around 6 weeks ago stating I had my home visit from the CAPITIA assessor and all she kept saying I had do the right thing. I now presume she meant all the medical information and photo's of all the work/Adaptions to my home, and items I use in everyday life. I actually forgot to put items in my application but had them under the assessors nose so she could not say she did not see them.
So now I would like to thank this site for all the hard work they do to help people like myself to get what they are entitled to and this includes EESA. People need to understand that this site does its best to point people in the right direction and it's correct, it's still down to the individual to get all the proof they can to send in with their application and not to send to much. The DWP and the Assessors DO NOT GET IN TOUCH WITH ANY MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. My medical notes are some years old and not up to date with what is wrong with me. Read what the site has to say as it's all true and very helpfull. Thank you so much to Benefits and Work team yet again. keep up the good work

That's great news! Thanks for letting us know and for your kind words about B+W

Thanks also for your reminder to members about sending in medical evidence rather than hoping DWP will source it.

Hi Mrs Hurtyback
I have now changed my name, and thank you again for the helpful information on here. I read somewhere that CAPITA and possibly ATOS, and the DWP do not want old medical information, I cannot understand why because if someone is diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis/stroke, (myself and a wheelchair user 24/7) ) and other things that will never change what is the point of having up to date medical information. Nothing can change and be done. It didn't make sense to me. Anyway my information helped and so did all the photos of the items in everyday use and life I need in and around my home, I even took photos of the crane/hoist in the car with one of my wheelchairs attached to it - so I think people should be made aware of these things to help them get what they do deserve, I didn't think it would but just goes show it does. Thank you Benefits and Work
