Had a phone assesement today, the call came out of the blue without any prior letters or text messages to arrange an appointment. The call lasted exactly 2 minues and 30 seconds and the only questions asked were: how many steps can I walk before the pain is too much to take, how long do I need to rest before I can start walking again, if I have to use cruches every time I walk or when needed for the pain and to confirm whether it was the left or right knee thats affected. Surerly this can't be enough to go on in order to make a decision?!

Depends if you gave good examples and evidence in your claim form

Hi and welcome
I presume you have actually had a paper based assessment and the call was just to confirm the questions asked
.
If it was a phone assessment you would have been given notice of the appointment
This is exactly what happened to me on my last review -

@Karolka92, phone the DWP and request a copy of your assessment report and on receiving it you can work what your award may should be but you still have to wait for your award notification letter.

You should get a text when they have report I got one? ??? It's a bit strange you had no prior notice about the assessment? Have you moved or changed phone number maybe?

I got sent 2 texts about the assessment? First telling me when assessment was and another before reminding me about it?
