Got my PA3 back assessor has recommended points on an activity that I had said in my pip form doesn’t affect me on will the dwp stick to this ? Has anyone else had points recommended in an area they hadn’t previously wrote down as having difficulty in but assessor has acknowledged although can do said activity cannot do it reliably or within a reasonable time therefore suggested points?

    Hi,

    Yes, this is fairly normal. Many assessors have more experience of the process than most claimants. The good ones will pick out additional descriptors even if the claimants hasn't fully understood the descriptor or appreciated just how much their condition affects them.

    ok thank you how likely is the dwp to stick with this recommendation though?
