My claim was suppose to be reviewed around September time but I’ve sent loads of information off and happy to say I’ve been awarded the same so I’m happy! I didn’t have a telephone assessment and don’t attend F2F assessments regardless of coronavirus. I don’t attend them full stop. I’m so happy been awarded 5 years again !!!! a decision maker did call me up to ask some questions, all sorted now. Can’t believe it 👌

@Lou67 oh that’s good!! did you speak to a decision maker? how did you win your MR?
-
Hi no didn’t speak to a DM I just phoned up the day I got my award after assessment, put in for MR on phone then sent further evidence from doctor.
-
@Lou67 what was the further evidence from Doctor if you don’t mind me asking? Xx
-
Yes the doctor sent some records and a statement from the consultant at hospital, and results of xrays and things xx
-
My wife's assessment was done last year in a ten minute phone call with a DM and he gave her the decision there and then.
But well done you @samfits99I am a person with epilepsy not an epileptic, my illness doesn't define me. -
@woodbine thanks mate. appreciate it. didn’t no they can call and make a decision. is that because I sent further evidence off?
-
@woodbine because my review wasn’t till September time. So I’m so made up. do you think it’s because further evidence got sent off? or not. once again thank you.
