    No she didn’t send it, I got word back cpl weeks later only got 6 points for DL and 10 for standard mobility gutted as I had DL until February wen it ran out, Iv put in a mandatory reconsideration but don’t hold out much hope, probably be the long rd to appeal.

    So you lost out thats really bad. I think it's luck of the draw. Depends on the assessor you get i think I'm on ESA right now and have been for many years when I go for my assessment I think it's every two years I can get a nice asseir who understands my condition or one who has no idea about uncontrolled epilepsy. The last assesment I had for esa the lady had a cousin who had a similar condition to mine. So we chatted about it and that was it. The whole thing lasted 15 minutes. I just got lucky.

    I’m at least grateful I got something even though it was standard mobility, I’m hoping I can get that changed as amongst other ailments I’m waiting on 2 knee replacements so any kind of movement is a nightmare.

    Postman' arrived . Went to porch. Thought he hadn't been. Went to go shopping and their was a big brown envelope from Belfast. The hairs on my neck stood up. My kness trembled hands shook. Time to sit down, and I opened it, glasses on and reading began two points here two points here there even a kid could realise that the daily living could only reach six. To be expected so not surorised. Next mobility saw this gorgeously shaped tick in the fisrt question about planning a journey in the box F. A great big smile and relief overcame my body finally the enhanced mobility rate. So happy ijust hope the dwp man agrees. Must also admit that the assessor was spot on with her report . I criticized her  in an earlier post and I was completely wrong to do that and I also moaned about the length it might take about getting the medical report once again I was wrong. I shouldn't doubt people I guess. But I am so happy about the award about the award of 12 points they never change their mind do they.

    I have only received a copy of the medical assessment report . I had my assessment by phone on may 13. I understand from people on here it is unusual for dwo assessors to change the thoughts of the medical assesors, well I hope they don't anyway!!!!!! I asked for medical report to be sent to me by calling up dwp although that can be fun. I don't know the timescale of when I get the award letter , maybe some posters on here are better informed on that than me.
