Hi just wondering if there's anyone on here who has had the DM Go against the assessment report. I suffer with mental health and have severe anxiety and this has worsened waiting for my decision. My report suggests I have 13 points for care component.

    As you were advised on a previous thread, it's very rare this happens. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/101977/hi-advice-on-assessment-report-for-pip#latest There's been very few members post here where a decision maker goes against the report.

    I completely understand how much anxiety it causes when you're waiting but there's nothing more you can do. Please try to focus on something else while you wait for the decision.

    You need to distract yourself, focusing on something which is out of your control, is a waste of energy. Also best to stick to the original thread.

    I completely understand the anxiety related to waiting to hear back after reading the report. I kind of wish I never asked for it as I’m more anxious now than ever before, and I thought I had gone through the hardest part with the assessment. But I can’t stress about it too much otherwise I’d be non-functional so heed everyone’s advice and try to distract yourself with something positive. Good luck!
