Hello @sally1966 Pleased to meet you welcome.
Thank you for sharing. Sorry what has happened.
Have you appealed or have you complained. All I can add is to speak to your MP .
They are interested in what going on. I know members of our community have done so.
All of the community can identify what you are going through. I am one. Myself.
It is worth contacting CAB . For any advice . I would suggest.
Have a look also at any of our benefit advice we have to get information. Would help.
We are a supportive, friendly community . Care and share. Hope we can be of help. Ready to listen.
Take care.

Hi @sally1966, when your son got 0 points did you appeal this decision? Is this the assessment that you are waiting for?
