    Hi,
    Most likely yes because most people have assessments. Paper based assessments are rare but possible.

    I did a change of circs in the summer, form submitted mid August, was waiting to hear about an assessment when a larger amount than normal was paid into my account..I rang PIP and they advised my award had been made, enhanced for both with an ongoing award..I have to say i didn’t believe them but the letter arrived the next day..so mine was paper based and I also must admit I didn’t treat the form as a new claim, I literally just put down what had changed and where things hadn’t changed as I just stated “as original claim, no change” which goes against everything they advise on this forum but seemed to work out ok for me, I do appreciate it’s far from the norm though. I do think that it’s only fair though that people let others know when they do things differently but still get a good result,

    All done and dusted in 9 weeks and I still find it very strange indeed that I wasn’t called for another assessment..

    Good luck :)
