[/b]Hello
Had my home visit PIP assessment ( had a DLA life award)
At the end the assessor told me I was Duffy from depression and should see my GP. I burst into tears, I am housebound and in a wheelchair so of course I am depressed. When he left he patted me on the shoulder and said I'd be alright! Don't understand if he meant my award or my depression, are assessor allowed to make such a diagnosis?
Nervous wreck now waiting fo the answer
Any advice please

Assessors should not make any comment about any Decision on your claim, as they do not make it.

As to diagnosing a problem with your health, it's not restricted but is certainly frowned upon.

PIP Decisions are takin 2-4 weeks at the moment.
