PIP Health Professional report

I am taking my daughters claim to appeal. Now we are in possession of all the paperwork from DWP we have noticed that the health professional is referring to a previous assessment carried out in 2015. The DWP guidance document for providers carrying out assessments for Personal Independence Payment (which I have downloaded from this sites) states on page 10 - 'The HP’s role is to assess the overall functional effects of the claimant’s health condition or impairment on their everyday life over a 12 month period, using the assessment criteria'. Can anyone give me advice if I can challenge this, after all why make fresh claims if they are going to use evidence from previous claims? Thanks.

Thanks Gordon, it was a PIP form I just needed reassurance. We shall be using this as part of our challenge along the lines of … ‘ we note page 10 of the DWP guidance document for assessors is “to assess the overall functional effects of the claimant’s health condition or impairment on their everyday life over a 12 month period” page 124 of the Health Professionals report is referring to a previous assessment carried out in 2015. Where any inference or descriptors (there are 4) have been used based on this comment, they would not be relevant to the circumstances of this claim
