Hi again. A brief synopsis is..had F2F. 10 days later assessor rang me at hoe in the eveing. I received report from DWP and the report was factual and correct, however she had added a footnote to report that had completely contradicted the original report hence it ony showed 8 points for daily living.
I immediately rang DWP who suggested I follow up with a letter, which I did the same day.
Fast track to last weds when a lovely DM rang me at home and said he totally agreed with me that she had contradicted herself and the footnotes and points didnt make sense to the original report. He said he would make a decision that day, which delighted me. He then rang back later and said his senior manager had said the report needed sending back to IAS for a rework.
I guess my questions are:
Has this happened to anyone before
Will IAS just be upset they are being questioned and not change the points
Will I be called for another F2F
Is it a good or bad thing that report has gone back to them.
Many thanks again for your help

The DM has no medical background so if the issues you raised with the report are medical then it is standard practice to refer the report back to the assessor for further comment.

I would expect IAS to deal with the matter professionally, this could, I emphasise the "could", mean a change in points but that could be up as well as down.

Another assessment is a possibility but it would be very unusual.

You are best placed to decide whether it is good or bad, you are the only one that has seen the report and participated in the phone call. :)

Thank you Gordon for your reply. I guess it is a waiting game to see what the IAS do. :)
