Hi Rebecca01*
At the current time, I wouldn't assume anything. If they have contacted your GP it means they either want more information or clarification about something, It's impossible to tell what they will do next. Sometimes it might mean they go paper-based and sometimes they still tell claimants they want an assessment. The reason why they still sometimes do an assessment is that GP's generally can't talk to the specific PIP criteria. Hopefully you will get the paper-based assessment you want - we just can't say that will be the case.
