Is a PA4 produced if paper based assessment carried out for PIP review? was created by Kathryn
Hi all
I received a text this morning which said that my PIP review was complete and I would receive the decision letter within two weeks. I haven’t been contacted by DWP or any of the health assessment firms for further questions/assessment and so presume that it has been treated as a paper based assessment. Given it has been decided on the papers, would a PA4 have been produced or are these only produced if a health assessment takes place?
Many thanks
Kathryn

Hi Kathryn,
There may not have bern any form of assessment Or alternatively, maybe an assessor did a paper review. If so, there might be a PA3 instead. It might be worthwhile phoning DWP and asking for a copy of any PA4 or PA3 and for them to confirm what if any assessment was done. Make a note of the conversation.
If there is no PA3 or 4, that's OK, but if DWP make an incorrect decision that you wish to appeal (Reconsideration and or subsequent tribunal,) then even if the PA3 ir 4 arrives after the decision is made and posted it is likely you will have it ready for making Reconsideration. If it arrives early and you haven't yet had the decision and you feel the comments in the form are incorrect, you might still be able to persuade DWP to ignore the form if you contact them immediately - this will work if DWP still haven't made the decision.
I hope this helps.

Hi LL26
Thanks for your advice. I just spoke to someone at the DWP, who confirmed that, as it had been done as a paper based assessment, there wasn’t a PA3 or PA4, but he went on to tell me that my award is continuing at the current rate (higher rate for both daily living and mobility) and that the next review date is 2031.
I am incredibly relieved and incredibly grateful to Benefits and Work for the detailed guidance you provide. As advised in your PIP guide, I provided very detailed answers in my review form and also attached relevant medical evidence and it has resulted in a paper based assessment and a continuation of my award.
Many thanks to all

Hi Kathryn
Many congratulations on your award - that's great to hear. Remember that although the review date is 2031 the review form can be sent out up to a year before that end date - so it could arrive in 2030.
