Hi All

Hope your all managing to cope today.

Just a quick update after my review was cancelled 2 weeks ago after 13 months of sending them the forms I had the call yesterday spent two and a half hours with the assessor seeming to ask the same questions over and over. I thought i had everything written down so I could check before I answered but they kepted asking how long things take to do something I forgot to work out in advance. I kept thinking they we're trying to catch me out. I'm sure I messed it up and things will get twisted around.

NNoW just got to wait to see if I loose it or keep it.

I have read I can call and ask for the assessors report before I get the answer. Is this true and is it worth it.

Sorry for the rant I know everyone else goes through the same terrible interrogation.

    Yes you can call and ask for the assessment report before the decision.

    It will give you an idea of how the decision is likely to go- the DWP decision maker usually follows the recommendation, but not always.

    Rant away @slimjohn! A lot us can understand what you're going through. I find the questions very difficult to answer as I don't tend to time myself doing things! It can really feel like they're trying to catch you out. I have my fingers crossed that it'll all be ok.
