Hi. I had my assessment via phone 2 weeks ago for Pip. They had lowered my lifetime award 3 years and written on my report that it would be reassessed as would probably worsen in 3 years.
The assessors who called me was very prompt bang on time. He was a little abrupt to start but not rude at all and asked me questions like what I liked to do in the house. He actually would stop me at times saying he didn't have time as he had a time frame on his assessments but would add things as he had all the scans.etc with hi,. Afterwards he said he would be recommending Enhanced and he didn't know why the last assessor dropped my award. I don't really know what happens next or when we will hear from them or if indeed enhanced will be recommended. But I will let you know.

Hello just had my telephone assessment which lasted 90minutes
The lady was very polite and explained everything to me as we went through the assessment it was a very detailed and I found it to be ok
At the end she told me that I will hear from DWP within 8 weeks so now the worry starts all over again waiting for the outcome

Hi Wilben63
There's nothing to stop you from writing to the DWP, but it's their decision whether or not they will take any notice of what you say.
