PIP - help!
In February 2025 I had a review letter saying I'm getting the standard rate of PIP until 2029. However. I did a mandatory reconsideration because I should be on the higher rate.
today I received a letter from the Health Assessment Advisory Service. They have booked a PIP assessment for me for 28th January - so not much time! Their reasoning:
' One of our health professionals has looked at the information you sent to DWP, as well as further information they asked for from the people involved in your treatment or care. After doing this, we have decided we need to arrange an assessment with you. this is to help us better understand the impact of your disability, illness or health condition.'
So obviously they want to throw me off. However, since they've already confirmed I'm getting PIP until 2029, can they do an assessment AFTER saying I've got it? Last time I had one of these assessments, I went through hell, so struggling to stay calm with this one.
The extra info I sent them is things like occupational therapy report, letters from the mental health nurse, etc, solid evidence, so this should not have triggered an assessment.
If anyone has been through this same situation, what did you do?
Many thanks.
