    Hi,

    Have you had a decision on that assessment yet? If not then ring DWP and ask for a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you this will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.


    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    There's no timescales to any decisions. Have you received a copy of the report? They usually go with the recommendations in there but you still need to wait for a decision.
