- Easier
- Harder
- No change
We’re getting reports from members who indicated on the form that there had been no change in their ability to carry out activities. However, they were then required to attend a face-to-face assessment at which the health professional did not have a copy of their most recent PIP 2 ‘How your disability affects you’ form.
This means that the health professional is making an assessment with no written evidence from the claimant to refer to at all. The whole process rests solely on the questions that the HP chooses to ask.
So we’d really like to hear about your experiences, if you’ve completed the PIP Award Review form.
Did you say there had been any changes?
Did you have to attend a face-to-face assessment?
What was the outcome of your renewal?
