    I ordered mine on a Friday morning and it dropped on my door mat on the Tuesday! So given I’ve waited a week for my award letter, it was very quick lol I wish my award letter was as quick as I need it to order my car!

    @carebear41 it is impossible for assessors to have in depth knowledge of all conditions they may come across and indeed not required 

    They are assessing your functionality and ability to carry out basic living activities 

    The onus is on the claimant to provide enough anecdotal evidence to demonstrate their difficulties 

    The assessor forms an opinion on what has been presented to them 

    Also they are making recommendations the buck stops with the decision maker

    @carebear41 that is just the worst! There was so much missing from my report and things I told her she got wrong and others I think she just made up. You sound so much more deserving than other that I know too. People who claim they can’t walk yet I see them walking fine round supermarkets and shopping centres!

    I hope you gone into detail on your MR and if your able back it up with any extra letters/reports from health professionals and just as important your caregiver. Hopefully they will reconsider. Also get your MP on board. They can help too. Let us know how you get on

    Hi @kaishalewis sorry only just saw this?! Just want to check are you saying the person on phone said he thinks a decision was made but he can't see anything his end so doesn't know? Or did they say a decision has definitely been made but he wasn't able to view it yet? Sorry just making sure I'm reading it right! And the payment on 30th probably is the normal one you're due I would think if you were getting money paid they owe you because of a mandatory reconsideration /appeal it might be separate as need to be worked out? I could be wrong though... Unless maybe you have had more information since 2 days ago? Hope so because I like you get easily confused and I'm dreading my decision etc now! :disappointed::dizzy:

    Flipping heck! It's like an emotional roller-coaster!! I thought they would be trying to make things less confusing! :disappointed:
    I spoke to them again yesterday and never end up feeling any better about the whole situation! :disappointed: hopefully they will make a decision soon and you can then relax a bit! Hoping we all get the news we are waiting for as soon as possible because I don't think my nerves can stand much more of this!
    Il keep you informed if I hear anything back from them? Take care hun and as fecked up as it all is please stay strong ????? xx
