Is it normal to be asked questions around social media, TV, hot drinks, and PJs during assessment?

Thats great @mehey I hope its the news you want when you get it

@BrettW me to but didnt think assessment went very well
-
Its hard to gauge these things until you actually see either the assessment report or the decision letter itself.
I've seen people post on here who have said that they thought their assessment had gone really well only to receive a report or decision letter awarding them a lot less or even nothing against what they were expecting. On the flip side there have been plenty of people who were convinced that their assessment had gone horribly wrong only to receive an award far in excess of what they expected.

@BrettW fingers crossed will keep u all posted

@BrettW the DWP work in mysterious ways

@BrettW got my report back sent yesterday looks like am getting all 0
-
I'm sorry to hear that @mehey. Bear in mind though that until you recieve the decision letter nothing is set in stone. Are you going to apply for a MR if the decision letter goes with the assessment report recommendations?
-
@BrettW yes I have a lot at min and theres loads of lies in
-
What do you mean by lies?
-
@BrettW it says in report am not on pain meds when I sent lost of meds of gp she states o was crying I was but in the next sentence says I seemed to enjoy the conversation and I she has classes the school run as unfimialiar place
-
Sorry @mehey didn't quite understand what you put there. She said you were crying but said you enjoyed the conversation? What conclusion did she draw from classing the school run as an unfamiliar place?
Did she mention your list of meds in the assessment and go over them with you as to what they were? -
@BrettW states I wasnt hostile but did cry but I seemed to enjoy convo said I was only on over counter medication which is not true as I have sent a list of my meds from my gp

Well hopefully @mehey the decision maker will go over everything submitted and not just the assessment report and see that there are inaccuracies in what has been stated. Until you get the decision letter, like myself, there's not much you can do until you actually have the decision in front of you.
If you do go for a MR when you state your reasons make sure you highlight where you think there were inaccuracies were and give more examples of your everyday life to reinforce these reasons. Do not accuse the assessor of lying because you cant really prove one way or the other if things in the report were deliberately misleading or just as a result of misunderstanding or miscommunication. -

If you'd like a copy of the report then you can ring up and request it a week after your assessment. This should give you an indication about what points the assessor gave you. It is rare the decision maker goes against the report.
Very best of luck!
hope all goes well for you
