I think the issue is, if an assessment is still required, then it is because they want to see the claimant to verify the extent of their problems, replacing the claimant with their carer would not satisfy this!

I see that you have started multiple topics about your partner's PIP claim, I will try to merge them into one. It helps us enormously if everything relating to one subject is kept in the same place, so please reply to this message if you have further queries or comments relating to this claim. You will find it easily in future if you bookmark/favourite it on your web browser now. Thank you in advance for your co-operation in this matter

Now my partner doesn't have to have a face to face will there still be a PA4 form filled out for me to request or is that just for the people who have face to face assessments?
Thanks

An assessment report is always produced even if there is no face to face.
