chiarieds said:Hi @pipdepression - Normally you have 1 month from the date on the letter you would have received with your claim form. I was thinking that, as you were waiting for some medical evidence, you could ask for an extension, which would be for a further 2 weeks.Just remembered when I saw your last query, that, due to Covid-19, you now have 90 days from the day you rang to start your claim. Your claim form needs to get back to the DWP within that timeframe. I don't know if you received a letter mentioning you now have this 90 days, as I don't know if any were routinely sent out.If you don't return in 90 days, you would need to ring up & claim again.1

They said I have a telephone assessment. But how can they see how messed up I am without seeing how I behave in person?0

Can anyone help me? I had a telephone assessment but I couldn't physically talk or answer questions. I needed someone to talk for me but I was by myself. So I couldn't answer any questions and the assessment went awful. I can't verbalize what's in my head so the phone assessment was pointless.0

Hello @pipdepression. I'm sorry you feel your assessment went so badly. As Mikehughescq said, it's important not to overthink it. It's pretty common to feel the assessment went badly but until you receive a decision there's no way to know.
If you wait around around a week you can request a copy of the assessment report which may give you some indication of how it went.0
