HI,

It's impossible to even try to sepculate anything at this point. Wait about a week and then ring DWP to request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.

Good luck for tomorrow's assessment.

Thanks and yes poppy ive been here before I will be requesting both reports next week I will update after tomorrow's assessment

hi tara2019, hope all goes well for you which im sure it will. at 49 your life is far from over but know where you are coming from and sure others feel the same but dont give up or the bad side have won. im sure you must have lots of positives in your life so when down try and think of them. ill be thinking of you so chin up and be a winner.

hi tara, yes thats exactly what you, ve got to do. your not on your own as i get days like that where my mental health kicks in bad and im in tears and not afraid to show it and all because of something and nothing and at 67 i cant do loads i used to be able to do which does my head in. there are lots of lovely folks on here who i reckon could get you through anythng so never be afraid to ask.hope you are having a wonderfull day.

@tara2019 I imagine its a huge relief that both assessments are over and I understand your frustration at the process you have had to go through. 

Fingers crossed for the outcome and you getting a good nights sleep   Let us know how you get on.
