    Hello @sally1966   Pleased to meet you welcome.

    Thank you for sharing.  Sorry what has happened.

    Have you appealed or have you complained. All I can add is to speak to your MP .

    They are interested in what going on.   I know members of our community have done so.

    All of the community can identify what you are going through. I am one.  Myself.

    It is worth contacting CAB .  For any advice . I would suggest.

    Have a look also at any of our benefit advice we have to get information.  Would help.

    We are a supportive, friendly community . Care and share.   Hope we can be of help. Ready to listen.

    Take care.

    That is unless you live in the Tatton constituency

    If he’s scored zero points why would you then be waiting for an assessment? The next step would be to submit a mandatory reconsideration request. Neither that nor lodging an appeal would ordinarily trigger a further assessment. I’m a little concerned you’ve been poorly advised to make a new claim?

    Hi @sally1966, when your son got 0 points did you appeal this decision? Is this the assessment that you are waiting for?
