Hi ron
At present we cannot tell you as we have not had much feed back on the forum.
The assessment provider that is due to carry out the assessment should contact you to tell you what will happen next. The assessment will either be a paper based one, or carried out over the phone but that is as much as we know for now.
All benefits reviews and reassessments suspended
If yours is for a review then we are told that there will be no reviews or reassessments of benefits for three months from Tuesday 24 March. The suspension covers all benefits and does not depend on you having been diagnosed with coronavirus or having to self-isolation.
If an assessment has been scheduled, the assessment provider should contact you to explain whether a paper or telephone assessment will take place.
Where awards of benefits are due to expire, the DWP will be extending end-dates so that your award continues at its current rate.

hi
i checked my bank and they have paid in another mont so i guess i am being paid for at least another 3 months and my claim was a re assesment and not a review.
i find it strange that they are re assesing me rather than reviewing me as i have been on dla and pip for 28yrs
