Hello,
So it's been over 5 weeks since my partners assessment was picked up in audit to be reworked.
Judging by the report I have, it was because it didn't meet criteria 4. "comprehensive, clearly explaining the medical issues raised, fully clarifying any contradictions in evidence".
I know a few people this month have had delays to audits (DWP cracking down maybe?) How long have people been waiting for the rework?
There's nothing they can tell me about her challenging the rework order with her SPOC, they've been waiting for it since the 28th of March, and in the end it's the DWP who decides it needs a rework. The DWP have no communication from Capita at all, they even called them on my behalf to see what is taking the assessor so long.

Can you email or call them again? After I sent off the paperwork I sent emails to check on the progress of my claim. Finally I got a text message from them to say that they had decided. The assessment report came in the mail the next day. Keep chasing up. Don’t stop.2

The assessor still hasn't done anything yet and I should get a further update today.
So basically it took the assessor a month just to look at the rework1 -
How frustrating! I'm sorry you're still waiting. Hopefully you've received a positive update today?1

I have been recording every call with them, and the DWP so that hopefully it can be used in evidence at how poor people are treated by these private firms.
