Hi @samfits99 - Welcome to the community & thank you for joining. The information in the following link is from Gov.UK so it can be trusted, it's also the info we have been hearing from other community members personal experience & this link given by the Scope team for guidance.

See: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/face-to-face-health-assessments-for-benefits-suspended-amid-coronavirus-outbreak

So, assessments will be paper-based, by telephone, or at a later date. I hope this helps confirm the situation. Please do let us know if we can help in any other way.
