Assesment Report - Paper Based Assesment

NathanF

Hi Everyone so I applied for pip on the 8th March on the 5th May the DWP received my assessment report back which I now have a copy of the assessor has put a '3 year review would be medically reasonable' and scored me on the following descriptors 

*'needs prompting to either prepare or cook a simple meal'.

*'needs supervision or prompting to be able to wash or bathe'.

*'Needs either - (i) prompting to be able to dress, undress or determine appropriate circumstances for remaining clothed; or (ii) prompting or assistance to be able to select appropriate clothing'.

*'Needs social support to be able to engage with other people'.

*'Needs prompting or assistance to be able to make complex budgeting decisions'.

*'Cannot follow the route of a familiar journey without another person an assistance dog or orientation aid'.

If I've scored the above correctly that makes 12 for each part of pip how often will the DM differ from assessors report?

Thank you

DMs usually follow the assessor - but not always.

Well done @NathanF Thanks for letting us know! I bet that's a weight off your mind.
