Assessmeñt cancelled?

Hi hoping someone can shed some light on this situation?

Brother claiming UC for illness, been sending in sick notes since last October 2018, WCA had not been activated till Jan 2019 due to JC putting in wrong date in journal on first sick note, instead of 2018 they put 2015 so WCA wasn't started till error rectified in Jan 2019, UC50 sent, completed and returned Feb 2019.

Letter received 2 weeks ago with date for assessment next week, my brother has mobility issues so asked for a taxi to be sent, told to get a letter from gp but on asking it would cost £25. DWP said they would look at his uc50 again as proof of mobility issues and I was told to ring back today.

Rang back today to ask what's happening and was told a doctor had looked at the form and evidence and so the assessment has been cancelled and details sent back to DWP, does this mean they have been able to do a paper assessment and would the doctor have made a recommendation to the decision maker?

Many thanks Bam

Phew, was really worried, hoping he gets awarded the support grouo, it's his first application and has took nearly 7 months!

Thank you Gordon
