Hi @thedoc the decision maker went with my decision on my report. I saw you asked this already in another thread, have you heard something to the contrary?

It is rare but can happen either way

Hi
I been on this forum for 18 months and have only heard of one DM change a recommendation from 5 years award to a 10 year award.
Ditto to other forums I am on.
There is no evidence of any changes being made by DM.
If such actions where taken by a DM, this would be “an abuse of process” as they have no power or authority, to override the assessor.
All a DM can do is send it back to AP for clarification or such like.

I apologise if I've already ask this question the waiting to hear off the DM is far worse than the f2f was the assessor was very nice female nurse
