Hi @Kendo861
Welcome to the community, how are you tonight?
Thanks for telling us about your assessment, and sorry to hear that you have reservations about how well it went due to that aspect. They will use your form, assessment and any other evidence you sent to come to a decision on your claim, so I'm sure that over the course of the evidence you will have provided plenty of detail, there isn't necessarily a requirement to echo what you put in your form in the assessment.
Aside from this, how do you feel it went overall?
I have moved your discussion over to our PIP category This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m sure you’ll find it to be a positive outlet, feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 A few notable pages I’d recommend visiting would be:- The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
- The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
- The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community
If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.

Yeah I agree with you shellbell20 my assessor was a nurse but she never gave anything away, looking back now I think she tried to catch me out on a couple of things. Its gonna be a long and stressful 6/8weeks.keep your chin up

The assessors are not supposed to tell you anything at all because it's not their job to do that. I've known assessors tell a claimant not to worry and everything will be fine and they support their claim. When they've receieved the report it was the exact opposite.Decision timescales are up to 12 weeks, rather than 8 weeks they seem to like to tell everyone.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Hi,
Try not to dwell on how the health assessment went - easy for me to say - I know, but you are not alone in feeling the way you describe after an assessment. If it helps you move on write some notes of what you felt was unfair about the assessment while it is fresh in your mind but not if it is going to make you more anxious - it is better to look after your mental health. At the end of the day we are all human and most people find an assessment a very anxious ordeal. It really doesn't matter if there are slight inconsistencies in what you've said in your PIP form and what you may have said or not said to an assessor so please don't worry about that. Remember the community are here to support you during this stressful time while you are waiting for a decision. Keep in touch and let us know how you get on. Take careOnline Community Adviser

Hello @Kendo861! A warm welcome to you on the community. Well done for getting the hard part out of the way. I hope your PIP assessment goes well. I think it is natural to feel worried about the form and assessment answers not matching. I guess the DWP will look at all the information provided, and as you mentioned you have memory loss, this may go in your favor. Good luck!

No because if there's any points recommended they are not added up in the report because it's just a recommendation. The only person that can score you points is a decision maker. To know how many points you scored (if any) you need to wait for the decision letter.
