Hi, my name is jasem1994! Can somebody help? Is it normal for assessment report to be reviewed?

Hello,
I had  my telephone assesment on the 12th of this month , however I haven't received a text to say they have received the report yet. My friend rang the assement people the other  day and they said iit was being reviewed,  is this normal? When will I get a decision or copy of report?

Hi,

You don't say what benefit this concerns. Either way, It sounds like your assessment report is in Audit. Sometimes reports are chosen at random so they can check the assessment provider is doing their job correctly. If this happens then it delays it being returned to DWP because it will only be returned once the audit has been completed.  It's nothing at all for you to worry about.

They won't send a copy of it out to you either until the report has been returned to DWP. Decision times can be between 2-12 weeks, sometimes longer. In your case it could be longer because of the audit, which will delay the decision.

Hi 

Just to add they only send the report if you request it this doesn't happen automatically

HI ,
Thank you all . The benefit I am talking about is PIP. I received a texted message this evening at 5.04pm to say they have now received the report and to wait a decision.  How long have others waited before receiving a decision estimated?
I'm new to PIP alot to take in .

Thank you

Okay thank you and do I just ring pip to ask for the report , well my friend or brother will .   Fingers crossed I received good news soon

Yes you ring PIP/DWP. It's not always a good idea to receive a copy of the report because it can make any anxiety you may already be experiencing even worse, especially if it's not what you expected to read. The report is also not a decision, it's the assessors opinion based on everything you sent and what you said during the assessment.

Before a decision's made the decision maker will look at everything you sent, including the assessment report before making their decision.
