Does anyone have experience of being awarded pip following  telephone assessment and then being called for a face to face assessment four weeks later?
Feeling very anxious

    That’s odd. Did you ring to ask why you now need another assessment?

    No.
    I didn’t think about doing that! Is it unusual for them to do this?

    The assessment report gave me zero descriptors and didn’t match the written text.
    I was awarded pip standard for Daily living activities and enhanced mobility rate.
    I wondered if that’s why?
    maybe they are checking  up
    on staff?
    reviewing cases where this happens?

    I have no idea what the reason could be, i'm sorry. If it was me then i'd be ringing to ask why. Although they can review you at anytime, if they were to do this i would expect them to send you another form first.
