    Good morning @deb1929

    Paper-based assessments are usually done if they feel there is enough of information to write a report without needing an assessment. If they were not sure an award could be offered, they would usually do a phone or face-to-face assessment to gather more information.

    Will you be requesting a copy of the report from the DWP or waiting to hear the outcome first?
