What do you think the likelyness of the reviews/face to face assessments will be suspended longer than the initial 3 months in June.

    Face to face will almost certainly continue to be suspended.  But I do wonder if they may start doing reviews again just over phone or on paper.  

    It won't be safe to carry out F2F until there's a vaccine which is still 6 months+ away at the moment.

    Unfortunately, we won't know when f2f assessments will return. There is a possibility that assessments will be carried out over the phone, but we will just have to wait for government guidance.

    Hello @kass. I can completely understand how worried you are about your finances. I've seen on another post you've applied for an mandatory reconsideration because the decision from your most recent assessment didn't offer you an award. Unfortunately in those circumstances there is no extension.
