Spilt tea on my computer so not been able to come online all week!

Am in complete shock, rang the PIP office yesterday and have been told I was awarded Standard Care and Higher Mobility! After a year and two days my wait is finally over! The decision was made on Tuesday but must have been after I rang them on Tuesday morning! Can't believe it yet but can't stop smiling! The wait for my back dated payment starts now! As it will be over £5k I have to wait for a manager to sign it off but hope it'll be quick!

Note for others in the Newcastle / Sunderland area: only 4 weeks since my f2f and 2 weeks since my file has been with the DM - your wait could be nearly over too!

Thanks to everyone on here for your help, support and advice - with one or two exceptions everyone on this forum is fantastic.

Hi, kitty kat. Fantastic news, hope your back pay gets sorted out quickly x

Thanks Caza - I feel like a weight's been lifted! I really hope that you hear soon. I was lucky that the guy I spoke to at PIP told me to ring a couple of times a week and said they were more than happy for me to ring - must be the luck of the draw! He told me on Tuesday to ring back towards the end of the week and not to wait until next week - he must have known they were actually working on it when we spoke! good luck - will be thinking of you x

Anyone been successful with a mental health claim?

I haven't read the whole thread (it's too long) but I just jumped in to reply that I was awarded PIP for Asperger's. I mentioned this further back on the thread (page 28, post #549).

Congratulations! I hope your money comes through quickly.

Mine came through last Monday. My condition has been pretty bad for the past week so not able to post sooner.

My MP must have made a difference, I received an email from them last week with an attached reply they'd got from DWP. They say they're trying to amend the IT system so that automatic award letters with a payment date aren't sent out.

The DWP email also suggested that the task request to the manager hadn't gone through (another IT glitch?) and that they were sorry I hadn't got the call backs. Usually the request to release the money is done straight away so yours may be nice and quick.

I too found this forum helpful. To those that started the thread and the others that have added to it, thank you, it made such a difference to know I wasn't alone. In the last week I've realised how much my PIP claim had taken over my life, I'm hoping that now I can leave it all behind and concentrate on improving my condition. I know I'm likely to live with it in one form or another, but maybe, with less stress I can move forward rather than backward.

My award is to November 2015, I really hope the renewals procedure is more straight forward!
