It shouldn’t do as they shouldn’t talk nasty to you and it is your right to complain dwp should accept your not happy if you find it does then seek advice good luck

It's worrying as I just spoke to someone from the complaints department about my friend taking over with letters from them it was them who said it does affect the outcome
-
That’s wrong tho you shouldn’t be treat that way for telling truth
-
I know its so frustrating its been just over 3weeks since my assessment im dreading the outcome more now ?
-
It doesn't affect any decision made be a decision maker. DWP aren't interested at all in anything like that. All they're interested in is how your conditions affect you.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
That's made me feel a lot more at ease thanks.

If the HCP gives 0 points, the DWP will stop your ESA, it is as simple as that. -

Do you normally get your rent paid by the council directly to your landlord? -

@April67 Me too, 0 points. No chance of a the DM disagreeing with that score, off to tribunal again for the 5th time now.

Just to back up what poppy has said. Making a complaint has nothing whatever to do with the outcome of your claim. DWP don't even need to know unless you tell them because the Assessment Provider who did your face to face are a separate company. In my experience making sure DWP knew I wasn't happy helped me go from standard rate to advanced rate mobility but it doesn't mean that will happen to anyone else. Don't worry. Just treat your complaint and your claim as separate things and you'll be OK.
