Hello micky
I have not heard of re worked in regard to the PIP claim processor decision making. It maybe worth contacting them again to find out exactly what they mean. Please post again so that we know what it means.

For rework what does this mean thankyou0 -
micky,
I have seen this happen just a couple of times, but I don't think it is anything to worry about. It looks like sometimes the assessments need to be 'reworked' because the DWP has decided they are not 'fit for purpose'. This means they are not clear enough or well written enough for the DWP to make a decision.
It isn't a good or bad sign; it may mean your assessor was particularly rushed and didn't write their report well enough. So it has to be done again. Unfortunately, it does mean the decision on your PIP will take longer, and you could complain.
Guidance on 'reworking' assessments is in the PIP assessment guide, section 3.6. The assessment company (ATOS or Capita) should deal with it as quickly as possible. I'd suggest that if you don't hear anything in the next couple of weeks you consider making a complaint (you can find out how on their websites), and if it carries on for longer than that, maybe ask your MP for help too.

This has happened to mine. I Ashford the report which they sent me but they’ds alrysent it back to the assessor. What she’d written contradicted the boxes she’d ticked so giving me a much lower score than it should have been. I was told they shouldn’t have sent me the report as it wasn’t the corrected one. The score she gave would have taken me from high daily living to standard and high mobility to no mobility. Just waiting now to see. I am 70 and have bi polar disorder. I have a psychiatrist, a care coordinator, a care plan and a neighbour who supports me on a daily basis. It’s pushed my anxiety through the roof.0
