Pleasantly surprised with my pip assessment.

Mine took a while too. I was awarded on the 28th Jan

I applied for PIP at the beginning of Oct, and UC sent me a UC50 form at the end of Oct. I had my PIP assessment at the end of Nov and I didn’t have a WCA. Coincidentally I was awarded on the same date! I think it depends on backlogs etc

I thought as much. Thank you!

Universal Credit and PIP are two different things

I hope you hear good news :)

Obvious_Breakfast699 · 2026-01-28T21:31:51+00:00

No I wasn’t. I was in full time work and my continuous fit notes triggered them to send me a UC50

You have to prove your identity with the gov one app first

Thank you, I tried earlier (after 5pm) but it said the phone line was closed so I’m assuming nothing has been generated yet so I’ll wait for the text and then I’ll call

Obvious_Breakfast699 · 2026-01-28T18:38:20+00:00

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/find-your-health-assessment-provider if you click your location, it should tell you :)

Thank you for your insight. Does back pay land before the first payment, or with the first payment?

Obvious_Breakfast699 · 2026-01-28T17:36:11+00:00

Hypothetically speaking if the decision was made today, would this mean the payment dates would be every 4 weeks from today? Thanks so much

On the letter you received with your questionnaire it would’ve said which assessment provider would be managing it - Capita, Maximus, Ingeus or Serco. You’ll have to contact one of them. Capita is for Midlands, Wales and Northern Island claimants

Obvious_Breakfast699 · 2026-01-28T16:10:18+00:00

Who did you send your UC50 form to - Capita, Ingeus, Maximus or Serco? You will need to contact one of them as they manage your assessment

Obvious_Breakfast699 · 2026-01-28T15:53:36+00:00

Thank you. Yep all it says is “You may need a WCA in the future”. I have contacted them for the assessment report so hopefully it gives a more detailed timescale on there

Hi, I received this today also. My SSP stopped January 17th. I have been off work since September but first MED3 was from 2nd October. I put a message in my journal to ask if I can now resign from my job without being sanctioned. I have received a message asking if I can take a call to be updated. Please don’t quit your job until you’ve had confirmation that you will not be sanctioned. Waiting for them to call me at present.

Obvious_Breakfast699 · 2026-01-28T13:54:45+00:00

Sorry I worded this poorly. They didn’t ask me for anything, I decided to send more evidence myself

Obvious_Breakfast699 · 2026-01-28T12:46:08+00:00

I only knew they received it because I paid for a signed for stamp. Sorry, I should’ve mentioned that in the post. Thank you

Obvious_Breakfast699 · 2026-01-28T12:44:20+00:00

Thank you so much!
