Hi all,I was assessed by Capita in June before I had been fully diagnosed so in July I contacted Capita to inform them of the diagnoses, but I had heard nothing until my wife phoned Capita today 23 October who confirmed that all the paperwork has been sent to Works and Pensions on the 13th October,I enquired why the delay and the lady whose name is Aurora ( most unusual name ) said they had needed a medical diagnosis before they could pass my claim on to W & P, and I was led to believe that PIP was based on the ability to be able to do things around the house and stand and walk a distance,so who knows when I will receive anything, and I cannot claim carer's allowance until I receive PIP, I find all this bewildering.As I am under Walton and Professor Young's team inc a benefits advisor I spoke to back in July or Aug who said he would get to the bottom of it,but nothing became of that either,even contacted CIB locally and they said if you come down we can discuss it and I said I had got MND and was enquiring about PIP, she assumed I was talking about PPI,so I asked her or someone to come to see me, (CAB is about 2mls from my house,no can do she said but I can put you in touch with AGE CONCERN,so I wait with baited breath.
