Positive atos story..

Options
So I was called for my PIP transfer. Sent a bit of evidence with form before Xmas. Medical was 2 weeks ago today..got the scary brown letter today.... The enhanced rate for both parts!
The lady from atos was lovely. I gave her a doctors print out of all my meds (including confirmation of being on chemo).
They've written on the letter that the decision was based more on medical evidence than the medical, but I also got awarded the needed "points".
I'm sharing this to let people know there are some positive PIP stories as well as scary ones!!!!
The feeling i got when i confirmed my place studying criminology at Exeter Uni was brilliant!!!!!

The pride my children told me they had in me was even better!!!!! # setting positive example to children is OUTSTANDING!!!! !:grouphug::grouphug::smileyhea:smileyhea:smileyhea:smileyhea:smileyhea:smileyhea:smileyhea

    Thankyou for giving us a positive outcome. It gives me some hope that mine will be the same. I had my f2f last Tuesday with a lovely nurse who was very thorough and actually listened to me in between typing.
    Wishing you all the very best :)

    I've got lupus that's getting worse...so I just plod on. I've also got the elusive " ongoing" award, no end date. Just remember it's how you're affected by your conditions, not the actual conditions that it's based on.
    Good luck to anyone waiting to hear or applying etc xxx

    Similar good story here.

    Went for a f2f with ESA50 & meds, no recent medical evidence although I believe from what was said they had access to some of my previous WCAs.

    Everything I said was listened too and recorded correctly, I was taken at my word & believed.

    Outcome: moved from ESA WRAG to ESA SG for 18 month, HCP judged my mobility at worse than I declared.
