This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the report. Good luck.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

I scored points for my pip on needing prompting to either prepare or cook simple meal
Needs supervision or prompting to be able to wash or bath
Needs prompting to to dress and prompting to select appropriate clothing.
Surely they should take this all into consideration -
Oh and also prompting to be able to engage with other people

What so having to be prompted to communicate with people due to it causing distress doesnt class it? Surely because I suffer with violent outbursts I will be classed as being a risk to myself or other people if found as being fit for work
-
Even on my pip appeal decision it states I'm severely limited so being that it's called limited capability for work they should take this into consideration

As advised, wait a week and request the report because at this stage it's impossible to guess what the outcome will be.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

But as also stated in my assessment I suffer from paranoia at night from the smallest of noises I get suicidal thoughts which gets me to the point as where I wouldn't be bothered of the consequences of jumping off a bridge or in front of a train even had these thoughts on my last assessment which I passed so couldn't see why they will say yeah your fit for work
-
It feels like however much evidence you provide your still classed as having no limitation
-
What points is the lcw decided on then as I've been looking online for the questions and points for it but have found nothing

LCW (WRAG) here https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/employment-and-support-allowance/esa-glossary/1354-work-related-activity-group-descriptorsLCWRA (Support Group) here https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/employment-and-support-allowance/esa-glossary/1353-support-group-descriptorsreg 29 wrag and reg 35 support group explained here. https://cpag.org.uk/welfare-rights/resources/article/making-exceptionLots of people are successfully placed into one of the groups without any problems at all but we rarely hear the good stories. The assessment report will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be because they mostly go with the recommendations in there.

Am I right in believing the assessment gets emailed to the dwp for them to then decide? How long does a decision roughly take?

Hi @Welshlad90, unfortunately there's no timescale for decisions, they can take pretty much as long as they like. If you leave it a week, you can call and request a copy of your assessment report which will give you an idea of what has been recommended. The decision maker usually goes with this report. Best of luck!Community Manager

They will send you a paper copy in the post and not on your journal. It has been known for them to refuse to send it before a decision's been made, especially if you live in N. Ireland.

The wait is extremely stressful for everyone. I've had male and female HCP's and i've yet to have a bad one.
