Hi everyone,

My sister suffer from severe unwarned epilepsy and she had her PIP face to face assessment yesterday , she was assessed by a young lady , and when she finished the assessor told my sister its done and you did well you can go home now and rest and she has written on a paper the name of an anti-sickness tablet to give to GP for my sister to treat the sickness she feels after taking medication , also the assessor didnt do any physical tests only questions , is this a good sign of a positive assessment ?

Thank you

    Hi,

    It doesn't mean anything. If your sister lives in the UK then end of next week she can ring DWP to request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to her. This will give her some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report.
    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.

    Honestly, I don't think you can tell until you've received the report. Some people report what seems like a good assessment only to find out they've gotten a bad report.
    But on the other hand, I had a good assessment and a good report. The guy who assessed me was lovely and kind.
    Try not to worry about it, and ask your sister to call up and ask for a copy of her report in a week or so.
