I have hidden any information that is not relevant to your post or is personal. The forum is open to the public to read and by including your name and email address you are opening yourself to cyber attack.
In regard your question.
First of all you should contact Capita to find out what is happening with your claim; you need to know whether a new assessment is required, they were able to produce an assessment report from the assessment you attended and has this been returned to the DWP, the assessment was curtailed and no report has been produced?
If a report has been produced and sent to the DWP, then you should contact them to find out whether it has been received and what is happening with it?
Once you have any idea of what is happening we can provide more advice if necessary.

Hi Cosy
Did you get to check your medication when you were feeling better?
If the assessor says you were uncooperative they can use that to cancel your claim.
If so you should be prepared to appeal and if you were right about your medication that would help your case.
Why could the assessor not go and get your medication to check for himself?
