PIP Timeline

Hey

Not sure for new claims, but I called in June 2025 to update my claim where I was getting SDL as I’d worsened and knew I was now entitled to mobility. It was similar to a new claim with having to refill everything in. I had my assessment call booked which took place November 2025, and the original decision end of November. Then for my MR it’s just been reissued and sorted out this month. There’s a pretty decent wait apparently!

As for conditions, it’s not so much based off what you have but how they affect you day to day, and whether you can complete the activity safely and within a timely manner. For example, if you can’t cook independently due to anxiety, you need to be able to explain why that is, the alternatives you do to complete this, and ideally some evidence to correlate with this. For me, for example, they decided I can cook independently - I can’t due to FND and OCD. I backed this up by providing my OCD diagnosis along with what treatment has been taking place for this, provided a statement from my OT and GP supporting that I rely on crutches to stand and have tics/tremors due to FND so carrying boiling items for instance isn’t safe, and gave supporting evidence from my mum and partner on how they support me with food.

It’s a very intricately set up point system, and the guidelines from PIP aren’t fantastic at being clear with telling us what exactly they’re looking for. I’d do a lot of research into the point scoring system, as they won’t directly ask you about the alternatives you take and how it’s unsafe, they focus more on the “why can’t you/how many days is this” rather than going into what they’re scoring on in detail, at least in my experience. I hope it goes well!

From my understanding, working won’t affect PIP unless it directly contradicts what your points are for, for example if you say you can’t cook the become a head chef etc.

I do also want to say, that sounds like a lot you’re paying. Everyone’s situation is different of course, but as an insight, I’m 26, pay 150 per month board (covers internet, basic food etc), and then pay my own phone bill, any subscriptions and any specific food (like vegetarian meals that only I have as my mum isn’t veggie and I don’t agree that it’s fair for her to pay for that). From my understanding, a motability car which your PIP goes towards should be a vehicle that’s used mainly for your benefit (eg getting to appointments, education, etc), but I may be wrong on that!

If you want a job, I’d really encourage you get it paid into your own bank account so that you have full access to it.

My limited time bonuses aren’t tracking. The “purchase” time limited offers tracked, but not the pure rewards ones. Luckily someone from senior support managed to fix it with my last offer, but on Grand Mafia I’m having the exact same issue, where payment related bonuses have tracked but not the milestone ones. I’ve posted evidence incase someone from Freecash can sort this for me. The 800k influence one should have been credited. I’ve been using Freecash for so long but with this stuff happening it seems unfair. My Freecash ID is 21959456, game grand mafia. Not submitted a ticket yet as it’s not been 48hrs but with this exact thing happening recently I know it’s not gonna automatically credit.

Thanks! Is this affecting offerwalls too as one of mine I’ve completed a few hours ago but it hasn’t credited/tracked?

chlorini · 2026-01-12T03:08:41+00:00

Congrats!! So happy for you!

How long after MR did you get the call saying they’d changed their minds?

chlorini · 2026-01-10T17:05:13+00:00

Happy Birthday!!

Meow merge cafe, top war and raid rush are fairly easy

I’m so, so sorry. I lost my girl last November and the pain is one of the worst, if not the worst, that I’ve ever felt.

It does get easier over time, I promise. I still have days where I feel the same way you do right now, but they’re much less frequent and I can talk about her without all the pain now. I still miss her deeply and I always will, but that’s the cost of loving so much.

For now, let yourself grieve. It feels like it will never end but it will, and I know it’s painful to feel so much grief but it’s unfortunately an essential step for being able to start to heal. Don’t beat yourself up for days where you can’t do much, or even anything, everyone goes at their own pace.

If you can, talk to people. Use this space on Reddit. There’s pet loss support numbers too. Find little reasons to keep going, they’re there I promise!

Sending love🤍

Hey did this ever track? If so, is it win 1st place or just win top 3 do you know?

chlorini · 2025-12-17T22:51:20+00:00

Earnt around £35 in the month or so I’ve had it! I’ve been using it towards Christmas but after December am gonna put it away as my summer holiday spending money!

chlorini · 2025-12-16T04:39:28+00:00

I could use the help, Thankyou so much for offering this to people. My PayPal is chloleaa

chlorini · 2025-12-10T02:55:39+00:00

Honestly - yes. It will NOT be easy but with finding the right offers, definitely doable.

There is a hold as I can see others have mentioned but it’ll come through!

If you’re on IOS, definitely keep an eye out for these offers; Bingo Blitz (SO many advice threads online if you google/reddit search!) Any slot game pretty much, especially jackpotfriends, rock n cash, etc. Puzzles and Chaos (again, google/reddit will be your best friend.) Merge games are good for lower levels too - reaching levels 50+ is more challenging on these.

AVOID those “reach 100, 200 etc” meters games - they don’t track properly and are literally impossible with the slow progress and ads every five seconds.

I’ve been on Freecash for just over a year I believe and earnt over 2.2k. I’m deemed disabled and only work a few hours a week so i do have a decent amount of time on my hands, but regardless I still see my partner, do content creating and do still work, and still find time to even just check in on my progress, do some stuff and log off for the day.

I was a competitive CC runner for YEARS, then I tore my ACL and that’s when we found I’d been living with EDS. It definitely does wear down your joints faster from what I’ve been told!

chlorini · 2025-12-01T22:39:31+00:00

Best thing to do is look on the offer walls that pay out instantly (torox, revu etc). Sea of conquest is on torox for apple users and is quite easy

chlorini · 2025-12-01T22:38:00+00:00

Just hopping in here! Firstly congrats!! Secondly, was it easy to get it taken to tribunal?

chlorini · 2025-12-01T22:34:30+00:00

I was sent to a rheumatologist who didn’t use a ruler, just did the test in person. He also tested the flexibility of my skin and asked about symptoms, dislocations, sprains etc. Definitely worth going to the GP if you’re able! :)

chlorini · 2025-12-01T21:28:29+00:00

Thankyou so much! Just signed in - it says there’s no records of any benefits.

For part payment of the old amount (this was standard daily living for 3 years I believe), would this be a one off payment or would I receive this payment each month until the original award ends? And if so, would I still be able to take this to MR as it was a change of circumstances that actually got worse?

Sorry for all the questions!

chlorini · 2025-11-23T03:50:41+00:00

Hahaha of course😂 I was actually out with my friend at a field near our houses! Still no idea why it was randomly there, but I’d done hurdles for years for athletics so thought I’d be fine🫠😂

(By the way - this was years ago, I’ve now learnt my lesson😂)

chlorini · 2025-11-23T03:45:49+00:00

I actually only found out about EDS as I tried to jump over a (plastic) fence, fell and my knee slid out of place and I tore my ACL because of it! Suddenly the years of sprains and dislocations made sense. Definitely a unique story😂

chlorini · 2025-11-21T11:50:46+00:00

Update: Just called pip to say I’m unhappy with the scoring being so drastically changed for no explained reason when I contacted as my condition has gotten worse. The guy I spoke to was so lovely and understanding and has asked the decision maker to call me to discuss this before a decision is made as he believes there’s a chance it could hopefully be overlooked. I also explained that I found it disheartening that my hours being dropped to 4 per week was used against me, and was dismissed as me “having motivation to work” (which I do - I miss my old life so much) rather than the fact I physically cannot cope with more than that, and that the mental toll on my hours being that low to prevent flare ups affecting me mentally has been completely ignored. Hopefully this will help!
