Hi there, sorry i wrote a previous post regarding the 48hrs before asking for a copy of the report. I have just tried again but still, no joy, this time they said i should wait till the end of next week before i ring back up> Is it normal that it takes this long? as I am a getting really nervous and just wondering if the report hasn't been completed yet should i be worrying?

Hi robert1111
We have heard on the forum on a number occasions when it has taken more than 48 hrs, we have also heard from members who have received a text message the same day as they had the assessment, so it does vary.
48 hrs is the norm, but it would depend on the day of the week when you had the assessment, if you had the assessment on a Wednesday I would advise you to contact the following Monday.

Hi robert1111, if it takes too long you can protest that it is
"not fit for purpose"
[if you don't like what you read] because it was not written in a timely manner, ie the assessor had time to forget what took place.
Best wishes,
Denby

Hi Robert1111
I'm sorry to hear this has happened. I would keep trying next week, and hopefully, they will tell you they have received it. If they have it - you could put in a formal complaint, or you could wait until the DWP get it and you have seen the report for yourself. If you find as others have done that the report has lots of errors - eg things you never said, or looks like it was all cut and paste then you have a stronger argument to make your formal complaint. I hope this doesn't happen, but one member a few months back, had to have a second assessment, but their complaint was upheld because they successfully argued that their assessment had been mixed up with someone else and the assessor was not able to give an accurate reply.
