Telephone assessment DLA to PIP was created by Salb125
Hi, i’m my sons appointee as he has ASD, anxiety and communication problems. We started the DLA to PIP process in late September 2019 after receiving the dreaded letter. I completed a telephone assessment on behalf of my son 8th January 2020 in which the nurse said at the end of it he would be given a paper review. I cant find any info on approximate timescales as this outcome seems to very rare. We had to go to tribunal for my sons original DLA claim, so I have limited confidence in the system. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi Hurried and Worried

I am sorry, I really can't give you any timescale. We have had a small number of members who have had paper-based assessments for PIP but the decision time has really varied. The best thing you can do is ring the DWP and ask how his case is progressing.

Hi. I filled out my son's pip form as I'm his appointee and requested a phone assessment in September making sure I added the doctors letter advising this as a f2f wouldn't happen.
I had a phone call early/mid December from an assessor and still waiting.
I phoned DWP yesterday and the assessors report is still with the decision makers.
Hope this gives you a little insight on approx timescale.

It took six weeks from the phone call telling me that there was no need for a face to face assessment until I got the award notice.
