Hi @tanbang
It's important to remember that people are more likely to post on forums if they've had a negative experience, than if they've had a positive experience. Some people do unfortunately have negative experiences during their PIP assessment, but others don't experience these problems. The assessor should be respectful and polite.

I have a extra copy of my form I sent so I know what I have written down. My telephone appointment is early 9.05 I just worry about what questions I will be asked and I want to be able to answer them the best I can
-
That's good @tanbang It's hard to say what exact questions they'll ask. You can only do your best. If you don't understand something they've asked, or need some time to answer, make sure you ask them to repeat the question or explain that you need a moment. You could have someone sit with you while you're on the phone too, if that would make you feel any more relaxed?

Good morning can anyone help me with this letter I received I don’t understand it
thank you -
It simply means that DWP have seen the information you sent to tribunal service but they (DWP) don't wish to add anything to what they have already said.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

So will I win my appeal or

That's not what it means and no one here can tell you that for sure.
-
But what will happen next ? It doesn’t say
-
Eventually you will receive a date for the hearing to take place. Have you received the "bundle" yet? If you haven't then you will also receive this before the hearing takes place.I'm assuming you're appearing in person, rather than requesting the paper based hearing? Paper based hearings have a extremely low success rate.
-
I have no idea what a bundle is … I am knee to all this. I don’t think it’s a paper base one
-
The bundle will contain everything you sent. Have you written and sent your submission? It sounds like you could do with some expert advice and help here. Start here. https://advicelocal.uk/ choose the topic "welfare benefits" it will tell you what advice agency is local to you. It's never too late to get representation too.

tanbang said:Don’t no what I’m really doingYes i can see that. It can be very overwhelming indeed. Please use the link i posted above for some help.Do you currently have a PIP award or were you refused?
-
I was refused it was my first time applying for pip last year.
-
Something has clearly been sent in because the letter you have shown is a response to whatever was sent.tanbang said:I have written anything 😑Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
What as been sent in is my medical records and the Assessors report
-
And the DWP report simply means that having seen that information (obviously they will have seen the assessor report before anyway as it is prepared for them) they have nothing further to say.tanbang said:What as been sent in is my medical records and the Assessors report
Please do try and follow up on poppy's earlier advicepoppy123456 said:..It sounds like you could do with some expert advice and help here.
