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

Thankyou for letting me know

Hi @Taliesen

Thanks for the update, I'm glad to hear you are receiving support with carrying out the change of circumstances form. Keep us updated on your progress, and best of luck

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
