Waiting on dission on my pip

Please re-look at your Assessment Report and see if the reports states about it being a medical assessment.
  My first question is how were you assessed?  Was it a Face to Face, Via a cloud call or by telephone lin and assessed over the phone, did they introduce them selves giving their name and I D number?  before the assessment started and did you have anyone with you at the time of the interview?
  If the report bares no resembence to the interview you had ask for a copy of the recorded interview, since they would have had to record inorder to interview as there is no F2F interviews yet.  Check that the report had your up to date prescription and medica history on it.

 Since there is no Face to Face interviews taking place the DWP have to arrange either a cloud or Telephone assessment, and at the start of every assessment it states tat this call is being recorded for security and training purposes?

Love to know where you have gotten all that from. 

 First comment: the term Medicl Assessment is used on all documents used by the Secretary of State.  This is because the decision Makers have no medical knowlege or back ground and therefore cannot comment on any medical information sent to them unless its some thing like Terminal Cancer or others that are not in dispute.  But when it comes to assessing how arthritis affects walking or bending they ask for Capita, Maximus, ATOS and Concentrix ( there are others but these are the ain ones used. )  to write a report about you by way ofan assessment.
  If you read the charter and what to expect at the assessment  the term MEDICAL, MEDICAL ASSESSMENT AND MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL are used about 7 times in the first page?  This leads the claimant to believe that they are receiving a MEDICAL Examination/assessment.  Its NOT a medical anything, since its an assessment for access to benefits.  But because they are being paid to produce a reprt about you under the laws they use the third party assessment company must also abide by th same laws.
  This is known as Candor, in simple terms the main contractor ( DWP ) has a contract with you, if he requires a specialist report, ( a medical assessment of the claimant )  he can subcontract but they must also abode by the same rules.
  This is Candor, and means it must seek your permission before releasing any information to Capita, Maximus, ATOS, that's the Data Protection Act,  The assessment companies if you read their charter state that the cirrect assessor will be paired up with the claimant where possible, depending on the illnesses described in the paper work supplied by you which includes medical information, which is also covered under the Data Protection Act for the release of your medical files to anyone.
  Even the pope needs permission to get my medical history?  The payment to these people is nt by yo but the DWP and the Secretary of State, that is why in their form filling it also states that we can use the information you provide to other departments ( Capita is now an extention of PIP's assessment.)  that have been approved by the Secretary of State. 
  But when you ask these companiesanything about this they will not tell you anything?  A breach of the Data protection, and certainly wont tell you about their assessors since they cannot be found on any medical professional register.
  Check the title of the report writer/assessor on the medical title used and see what qualifications they have?
  They will either not be found or was a title they held many years ago but have been struck off.  One such assessor was struck off in his own country for medical neglegence and his qualifications were not recodnised by the Medica Board yet he had been assessong fr 10 years with no qualifications?
  I do not believe the Secretary of State when they say we have approved ATOS or Maximus when they won't answer a simple question that is on the charter.  When challanged will show a valid up to date picture I D ?  If you have seen a valid I D or been given a valid I D number for an assessor then post it to me to see as in 15 years and probably 20 assessments of my own and gong along as support for many others I have never seen one?  In an assessment for a friend recently and its was a review again not wearing any identification said my I D is being charged up?  What type of I D was that it took her 20 minutes to find it?  when asked how did you enter the building, she said they know me on the front gate and let me in.
  This inits sef a breach of the fire regulations, as everyone on site must be logged in and out incase of a fire.
  This is why when at reception you fill out a form as to how you got their.
My job is to stop having to explain all this and take the strain of form filling away from the claimant.  There are other laws like the 2013 Social Security ACT and then another set of laws relating to the Tribunal Service.
  So far as assessors go there is a 68 Page risk assessment and method statement just on walking/time/distance, how many of those are you cinversant with?  Their is Professor Harrington's report the basis of Assessments and DWP/PIP's regulations over 1000 pages, after the first year he wrote anither scathing report about DLA and what they were not doing in law, and continued over the next 3 years.  Does being disabled make you an expert.  YES IT DOES, because you forget anything and you don't function.  That why forums like this help, because there is no stupid question, only one not asked. .
