Hello Everyone.
I hope you all are well and @poppy123456. I have done a new Pip claim in May and Dwp send my form to the Independent assessment centre. They rang me today to say that instead telephone and face to face she will submit a report based on my questionnaire and evidence. However, I was expecting some questions and asked her do you want me to answer any of your questions and she said no your questionnaire and evidence are fine. So everyone and @poppy123456 is that a good sign then? She also said 8 weeks it will take.

    I would prefer it that you don't tag me please because i have all notifications turned off. If i see a comment and can answer then i will but if i miss a comment and don't answer, i don't want anyone thinking i'm ignoring people.
    Paper based assessments are rare but do happen. I also see it's a review, rather than a new claim, although it really makes no difference. Paper based can happen for any claim.

    I mean if they dont ask any questions over the phone. She just asked if its okay to have a paper based instead consultation. Which she said she wrote the report and will be send of. As I was expecting further questions

    It doesn't mean anything other than they had no questions to ask you.

    They tell everyone 8 weeks... calcotti is correct.

    I didnt ask for wrong or correct. For example my last claim was in 10 days I received a answer of my report. 

    I see it as a positive outcome as they didnt ask
