Hi, 

Due to the level of symptoms I am experiencing. 

The pip assessment was cancelled mid way through. 

She said it'll be sent to the DWP 

What happens now? The person didn't explain.

Thanks

    They will sent a report to DWP and a Decision Maker will then make a decision.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    She said "Based on your symptoms I won't be able to continue I'll refer it back to the DWP. 

    Really worried now

    Hello @UkGuy94

    I'm afraid it would be a guessing game as to why and there will be a wait to hear back. Please try not to worry. Can I ask, do you have friends and family around? If you wanted to keep your mind off it, we have a Coffee Lounge where we play games, have debates and get to know each other :)

    This can happen if the assessor believes there's a risk of harm to yourself or anyone else from continuing the assessment.

    I don't see any sign of that in your post, so it's possible they misunderstood something.

    Hopefully the decision will go in your favour, but there's nothing more you can do now, just have to wait and see what happens.

    There will probably be two outcomes. They may well be able to make a decision to award or not based on the info they have OR they could say that the assessment was terminated by your actions and the case would be closed as a failure to comply.
    You will have to wait to see which way it goes.

    Hi I was at a face to face assessment with my son and the assessor said the same so we had to go back to waiting room and 1 hour later had the assessment with a doctor.

    Thanks for all your replies. 

    I've had nothing from them yet, and it's due to my physical symptoms.
