I though a law came out that people 65 and over were exempt from face2 face assessments? It's not like my illness is going to change now ?

@marian54 - I don't believe that it was a law - just a policy proposed by Amber Rudd before she resigned.
Others might have more info?? -
Havnt heard about this.
Would appreciate more info please -
HI,It's a rule change, not the law. Details in this link. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/thousands-of-pensioners-to-benefit-from-pip-assessment-overhaul
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. -
Hi @Marian54 and a warm welcome to the community! I understand it must be frustrating to still have to attend an assessment, is there anything we can help you with?
