Hi there
All it means I'd the assessor has done your report and sent it to DWP
You can request a copy of the report it isnt the decision but you can see what the assessor has recommended and thru usually go with the report
Now it is back it will go to a decision maker and you will get decision letter this can take around 8 weeks0 -
@sarah1986 I had mine this morning the assessor was a female and was really nice calm. Do dwp send sms once they received assessment report.1

It is my 1st assessment for anything and I've been poorly over 12 years I've terminal cancer and Parkinson's disease. My assessor was a woman and was really lovely lasted 40mins. I cried all the way through thou not my finest of moments. I did not know they sent a txt updating anyone because I've not gone through this process before
Thankyou everyone xx1 -
I hope that's put your mind at ease a bit @sarah1986. Fingers crossed you'll get the right outcome.
Don't worry about crying, I'm certain you aren't the first to do that!1 -
I know but I felt daft getting upset. I just don't really open up about my illnesses at all. I hope I get a good out come. I requested my report this morning xx0

They knew I was terminally ill. Cus my first claim 3 years ago was done in 2 weeks this time it has took them 5 months to even look at claim which was a renewal. I ended up getting my local MP involved cus it's wrong how I have been treated. Had the assessment on Monday cried all way through. How stupid is that. I was told my report was ready yesterday which was fast 24hrs after the assessment

The phrase 'terminally ill' has a specific meaning for benefits purposes. It does not mean an incurable illness from which you will eventually die. It does mean having an illness from which it is thought you may die in the near future (within six months).
It can therefore happen that people can claim under 'Special Rules' because their prognosis is poor but they then respond better than expected to the treatment they receive such that when they come to reclaim (after 3 years) they are no longer treated as terminally ill even though their diagnosed health condition remains the same.0 -
I've had cancer 12 years I've been terminal three years now my life expectancy is 5 years I won't get better I'm not on treatment I'm on pain meds now that's how bad it is and on top of that I have Parkinson's disease which is not cure for and it gets worse over time also0

I've had the assessment now though and they was told I'm in bed 97% of the time I can't walk anymore than a couple of steps wiv out my legs giving up. Yes but my consultant signed a ds whatever form to say I was terminal which qualify me to b under special rules they have dragged their feet my local MP involved and also the benefits minster is involved. Pip ave had notes from my 2 consultants go social worker ot and my carers0
