I remember other members who had successful paper-based assessments, whom you'd probably appreciate hearing from such as @ChloeHibbert & @samfits99 tho there are others too. Hope this helps.

@Carlbenn_88 some people do get successful awards from a paper-based assessment, but you don't usually get a choice unless you have a serious medical grounds for not having a telephone assessment backed up by your GP or consultant. All face 2 face assessments are still cancelled due to covid.
@chiarieds I haven't seen sam around for a while now have you?2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -
Well Chloe Hibbert & Sam, as well as 2 or 3 others have very similar stories; learning difficulties & mental health issues, & they always get a paper-based review. They have hoped to get a mobility component, whilst getting the enhanced rate of daily care, but perhaps I'm wrong, & the OP is just hoping for a daily living award.

My last review was paper based and I didnt request paper based but they said they had all they needed and knew my condition wouldn't get better I am amputee and visually impaired
I got enhanced for both but it was a review not new claim
