Today I phoned yup dwp to ask for written report of my pip assesment,though I have not had the offical letter yet.They were ok with this request.I then asked if they would tell me mote info of result etc over the phone,they did do.I got 4 points based on mental health,depression,anxiety and poss autism.it all affects my daily life.However I learnt on my second call back to them,as I asked them,if they based these points on more evidence I produced on the day of mt assesment,they said no,they had not received it in the post the assessor took off me and stated he was posting it onto them,and a form I had to sign for this.So I feel that was totally unfair,they didnt,or didnt know this new advice was coming to them via the accessor.Now I will have ro wait for my written report in the post to look out where i got points/and didnt and put my case across back to them.My assessement took [lace on wednesday,the letter of desision was sent out to me on sunday,just 4 days after my assesment.Just extra stress though no fault of my own,
