Hope someone can help
I had an assessment on 19 April 2018 for pip
I waited approximately three weeks for award letter when received telephoned dwp with regards to wanting a copy of my assessment as I told then I wasn't happy with there decision as I was awarded standard care and mobility taking away even tho my condition has became worse
Didn't receive my consultation report until Tuesday the 7th May when telephoned again after reading the report the lady said I receive quickly as it takes 7_10days explained how was this the case when I telephoned round about 3-4weeks ago requesting the info fuming is not the word and to top it off everything that was wrote is complete ad utter lies one of the biggest been that I keep eye contact and engaged when I kept my head on the desk and my mam answered questions
Also because I attended mainstream school I can make complex budget decisions.
All the assessments did was shout at me my mam asked how long it would take and her response was as long as it takes and I was in extreme pain. This lady was suppose to be a nurse my question is Iam within my own right to raise a complaint with regards to this
So sorry to hear about your assessment experience. As @Ripples says, appealing and complaining are two separate things.
You can find out more about appealing a DWP decision on Scope's website, and you can find the DWP complaints procedure here. If we can be of further assistance, please do let us know.
