    It can take up to an hour of waiting when ringing them.
    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.

    We I’ll just spent all that time on the phone to be told there not allowed to send the report out before the decision but can send it out after the decision has been made she said there’s been no decision made yet and she said it was stressing people out so they aren’t sending reports out well just my luck she said the decisions are comming back fairly quickly she said so we will see

    -Coughs- yes, i've heard them tell people this many times, including myself for my daughters last PIP review. Some will agree to send it and some won't. They most definitely haven't changed the rules, they will send it. Ring again and speak to a different person, chances are the next one will agree to send it to you. As you've seen from many other posts, they do send it.

    There's no timescales for any decision.

    They do send the reports before a decision's made for those living in UK.

    Maybe they've stopped sending reports at the moment due to low staff & high workload in the current circumstances?  Not really fair once you've spent so long waiting on hold though!

    Hopefully the decision won't be too much longer.

    That's unlikely because a lot of people on here are still requesting and receiving them.

    Just got my assessment  report back, although the assessor seems to have understood everything I said and wrote it down he's only reccomended 2 points for daily living. He has wrote that I do not use the cooker and only prepare cold food as I'm anxious about cooking things wrong but has score me 0 points as he has said as it's mental health I could learn to use the cooker.

    Also he has said how I get overwhelming anxiety whilst communicating with others except my immediate family but has only reccomended 2 point saying i need prompting to engage with others.

    One positive is he has reccomended 10 points for mobility as I do not leave the house.

    I'm hoping if the decision maker reads his comments they might see they don't match up although I know it's near impossible for that to happen.

    If I do a mandatory reconsideration for the daily living will I still receive the mobility whilst they goes through?

    Hi sorry you are not happy with your report 

    If the DM goes with the report and awards standard mobility you will get this payment from date you applied even if you do MR

    I asked this same question the other day and I was told yes so you will still receive it while it’s going threw is that your final decision tho or just the report ? You never know you might score more for mobility or daily living

    @cupcake88 thankyou, it's just my assessment report, he seems to have listened to everything I said I wrote it down accurately, just what he has ticked doesn't match up.
