Hi 👋 pip have had my change of circumstances form for 7 weeks now I telephoned today to check on the progress 😀 the gentleman who I spoke to said it had been with the case manager since 20th August and that I should hear something by the end of the week whether I've been awarded full rate with just my medical evidence or whether I need an assessment. My anxiety 😫 as shot through the roof I'm scared I've been sick. I know I shouldn't feel like this but I've waited a while I suffer with fybromyalgia, CFS,Anxiety and depression 😢
Does a CM usually have your forms from the start I'm scared if its bad news and my money gets stopped

    HI,
    7 weeks is no time at all and it's likely that your file hasn't even been sent to the health assessment providers yet. Backlogs are huge so i would expect you to be waiting at least several months, maybe longer. Most people have assessments, which are still mostly through telephone. Paper based assessments are rare but can happen.
    Your last thread was only 10 days ago asking a similar question. I know it's very difficult but please try to relax because there's nothing more you can do at the moment.
