Case work decisions using medical assessment was created by Misspts
I am currently on standard rate care and mobility since 2015. I have recently had a reassessment due to heart failure and difficulties with walking and breathing. I have just received a copy of the capita assessment and disgusted that she has not ticked any boxes to suggest I need help . Despite using special appliances for cooking and bathing . If her assessment is all that is taken into account I am worried I will lose all my current allowance. Had anyone had this problem as I will now be worrying until I get my final decision ?
