So a few weeks ago I was asking for advice. I’ve had my acknowledgment back from dwp after starting my review in September so it has been a long process. The assessor suggested higher rate for both for 2 years. The dwp have went with the report but extended it for 4 so it’s not always bad news. If you give enough detail about how things affect you daily and not concentrate on a diagnosis alone you should get what ya entitled too. Have faith and best of luck to everyone waiting x
