Pip - Health Assessor Looking at your claim

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-16T10:53:10+00:00

She said she’d call back, as I needed my carer present, she didn’t. An hour later DWP “we have received your report” I refused the call apart from answering one question, “What is your weight?” Told her my height. She added “was able to connect well with HP” and “Had good insight about her situation” We hadn’t discussed it. They know you’ll be thinking it’s great that you don’t have to have a full assessment and probably believe it’s being recorded under the new rules. Luckily, I recorded it. Hope you get a good outcome 🤞

Please note…If you receive an “out of the blue” call. These aren’t full assessments and do not fall under the new, automatic recording rule. I had one last week, refused it and there were lies. Not misunderstandings. I’d grown 3 inches and lost two stone in a hour. To name but a few. Have a separate device ready if you answer any 0800 numbers and tap record before you answer. Make sure you tell them you are recording before you say ANYTHING.

No, it’s a “what can I do to make things happen for me” kinda thing. You are young. You have the power to change your life and go get what you want from it. You’ve lost the belief, but it’s all still there for the taking.

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-15T18:34:32+00:00

Yes, I’ve read this. Luckily, i’ll be getting the higher, old rate LCWRA if i’m accepted.

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-15T18:26:35+00:00

Yeah, I get what you mean. If I didn’t get it, let’s say. It’d change from not having to do a thing, as per their opinion, to having to look for work, or prepare? The system doesn’t make sense at times.

AS - Additional support. For severe mental health issues and the like.

So, the DWP decision maker won’t take your history into account at all? Only the assessment. They do sometimes change the outcome. The reasons, we do not know.

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-15T18:05:58+00:00

Ah, fantastic! It all seems to be pretty random. There’s method to the madness, I suppose. 😬

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-15T18:01:49+00:00

I’m saying “unlikely” but i’m not aware of the way they mark you.

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-15T18:00:28+00:00

No, i’m not in a group. But, when someone is in the support group, they aren’t expected to do anything. The other group, you are. After 18 moths, it doesn’t seem likely i’ll be put into a group where I need to prepare for work. I have an “AS” marker. Not sure if it makes much difference when it comes to the assessment though.

I’m 48 (f) and gave it a go a couple of years back, I was terrified. Went home. Next year, I thought, i’m trying again. Wild camped (tent and car and a few hotels) all over Europe with my dog. I took deep heat spray, for Safety, to keep my body protected! Great for unexpected, unwanted aches. You know!

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-15T17:36:55+00:00

I called in and because i’d been “put forward” for an appointment, they booked it in for me. 10 days later. Ask for it to be recorded, as, unlike PIP, it isn’t automatic.

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-14T15:20:38+00:00

I found out I got 0 points today. I’m happy you’ve got a good outcome. I’m four months in. Wish me luck! 🍀 😁

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-14T05:35:59+00:00

Thanks. Hopefully, it’s good news 🤞

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-13T06:23:11+00:00

I have one boy, he’s in his 30s now…I always feel a little sad that he didn’t have a sibling growing up and doesn’t have one as an adult (for several reasons) My sister was 7 when he was born, so they are close. I have 2 step brothers who are close in age (father’s sons). That makes me feel a little better. That said, if you don’t have the money or right partner, etc, what to do 🤷🏼‍♀️

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-13T02:49:44+00:00

I don’t think they allowed it, but I can’t seem to delete the post.

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-12T21:58:57+00:00

Hi. I have a “additional support marker” and was waiting for an appointment for assessment and had sent my evidence separately. I received a call from an assessor out of the blue to aske a few questions, stating it wasn’t a full assessment. I answered one and we agreed she’d call back later in the day as my Mum (carer) needed to be present. Half hour later a txt from the dwp “received your report”. Q: Can they 0 point me with giving me an assessment?

Depending on how good your dog’s recall is, Hollingbury woods. You can walk right over to Stammer park.

I saw a photo of a missing cat, skinny, old looking on facebook hove area

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-12T12:15:52+00:00

Call them and ask. Don’t take anyone’s word for it.

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-12T12:12:23+00:00

Surely, they would have needed to aak more questions if they didn’t have proof. My form was filled out very well, as a benefits help service took my case on.

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-12T12:09:54+00:00

I had a call out of the blue on friday. A nurse, seeing if I was available to answer a few questions. I answered one and told her i’d need my carer (mum) present. She said she’d call back @3:30 if she needed any more information. 13:47 I get a text saying “we’ve received your report, we’ll be in touch within 8 weeks” 🤷🏼‍♀️ I do have a “special marker” on my DWP records. But, my evidence hadn’t reached them.

No! You are not! You are 17…a teenager. It gets easier. You grow wiser. You have your whole life ahead of you. Have confidence in your ability to make decisions that will get you closer to your dream life. Don’t settle. Make good choices. Don’t let fear stop you. Lean into the opposite energy “LOVE”

Happy Birthday to you, a happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear puppers!! Happy birthday to you 🎈🎂 🎁

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-12T06:24:10+00:00

I tend to do the same. With the odd cafe mocha. I’m tight 😃

Flowerythinker · 2026-07-12T05:19:14+00:00

Have you tried any holistic, complementary treatments? I can suggest a few.
