PIP Telephone Assessment

Dear Gordon,

I received a letter instructing me to not do anything during the lockdown period but to wait to hear from them.
I am wondering if they are able to do an assessment without the form or if something has gone wrong?
Is it usual to conduct a telephone assessment without a claim form?
Is it possible a new form has gone astray in the post, or should I requesting one now?

I am so unsure what to do now.

Whether to send the doctors letter requesting a paper-based review to the assessment service and DWP even without my full ill health and disabilities listed?

Or contact DWP on Monday to request a paper based assessment and asking what my next steps are regarding a paper based review?

I am wondering whether sending evidence in dribs and drabs or not including my full ill health and disabilities may disadvantage me if they decide to assess me without a form, if that is a possibility.

I was wondering what your thoughts or advice would be?

Thank you,

Stressed and confused,

Marie

Dear Gordon,

Apologies if I have confused you,communication is difficult and problematic for me.

I have received a letter to arrange a telephone assessment.
However, I have not completed a form.

The AP said that the only exceptions to telephone assessments for paper based assessments are for terminally ill individuals.
Reading through the forum it appears this is incorrect.

Thank you again,

Marie
