Hello @salty1212334 I'm not sure about your first question I'm afraid.

I'm sorry you've been waiting a while, can I ask if you sent any evidence in as well as your UC50 form? 

Have they contacted you about attending a medical assessment at all?

Hi I had no evidence I was waiting to speak to a psychiatrist I was told to phone the assessment people by my advisor I did and the bloke told me they was trying to do it paper based and they have requested evidence from my doctor i did find something i dont no if they still go by this but i should be classed as substantial risk 1 indicative substantial risk criterion and 1 high risk diagnosis this is a link to it https://www.rightsnet.org.uk/?ACT=39&fid=3&aid=1253_LkH3nvGoJbNNxQTawHuH&board_id=1 i have bpd/aspd and unemployed and live alone

Thanks for explaining @salty1212334 I did wonder if it was a paper-based assessment.

Perhaps check in with your advisor and ask about how much longer it will take roughly to get a decision? I'm afraid I'm not too sure on timescales myself.

It may take quite a few months to hear anything. Changing what’s written on your fit note will not affect anything.
