hi all,
So the medical assessment people requested a 113form from my gp to ask about further information about my disability and illness.
I rang them on Monday to see what was happening and I was told it's all been sent back to the DWP. I've rung the DWP today and I've been told that it's been allocated to a descision maker today. But I haven't been called for an assessment.
Im trying to find advice and I can't find anything.
my mind is a mess with worry,
sorry to be a pain

Hi @cen12,
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you've been having - it certainly sounds like a stressful time for you.
I've moved this post into our Ask a Benefits Advisor category, where @BenefitsTrainingCo may be able to offer further information.
If you have any other questions, please do get in touch!Liam -
Aww thank you

Hi @cen12
If it's gone to the decision maker that means one of two things:- either they're deciding whether or not to call you for a medical, or they're just going to make a decision based on the information they have.
If it's the latter - and it is relatively frequent that they do decide to just make a decision, then chances are they're not going to outright refuse you, as this would be quite difficult to justify without a medical.
Sit tight, and do let us know how you get on!
Kind regards,
Mary
