Hi me again!
Well I have left it as long a I could so I rang the DWP today, still no final decision - but they said a preliminary decision of enhanced for both has been made, I am in shock, however I know this isn't final - do final decisions often differ much?
The reason I called was to ask when I would get the assessors report which I requested on 23!
Thanks
Lindsey

There's no such thing as a preliminary Decision :)

If the call centre staff have told you of an award then a Decision has been made and the Decision Letter has been printed, so congratulations on the award.

Hi Gordon
No the DWP definitely said the award was a preminary one and that the case was with case manager Q??
Im wondering does it mean the assessors report from capita recommends enhanced on both - if this is the case do DWP often differ from the assors recomedation?
Im so confused!

Kind regards
Lindsey

I can assure you that there is no such thing.

Either the DWP have made a Decision or they have not, there is no interim stage,

The fact that the call centre staff have told you the Decision means that it has been logged on the computer system and a Decision Letter has been printed.

I hope you are right, fingers crossed!! Ill let you know when we hear!
Im a little concerned as when I asked when I would get the letter he said he couldn't say? Maybe he was unsure what he was talking about!!
I have asked for the report again so ill have a look and see what that says!

So the report has arrived and I have scored it up using the guide on here and its 19 for living and 12 for mobility with recommendation to review in 5 years, however still no decision letter - do DWP usually go with what the report recommends, I really want this to be over now as its been ongoing since my son was 16 at the end on Jan!
Kind regards
