    I read quite alot of people receive a text within 2_3 weeks 
    Do you know if my audiogram for my deafness will be  enough evidence asi sent a copy to them  my assessor had the copy with him 
    On my phone assessment my partner did this as I can't hear on the phone 
    He's sent the report off the same day a week ago

    Once the report is returned timescales are up to 12 weeks for a decision. Some have a decision is a few weeks, some several and others longer. 

    No one can predict what the outcome will be, you’ll just need to wait for the decision.

    I’m not sure if the audiology report is enough evidence alone - guessing this varies on a case by case basis. For me an assessment was required. My assessor asked a lot of detail around my good and bad days with my hearing and how functionally it impacts my day to day against the various descriptors. Some descriptors didn’t apply to me, for example I scored 0 for food prep, dressing and undressing etc.
    I’m surprised they did your assessment over the phone, did you try to get a face to face assessment?

    Thank you so much for your help 
    How long did you wait from your assessment did you receive a text from dwp and what did you get for the living part
    Also I sent a audiogram of my hearing will this be enough evidence 
    The assessor spoke to my partner as I can't hear on the phone 
    I put new/unfamiliar places 
    But really should of put familiar places 
    My partner did say about local roads she has to grab my arm when crossing roads etc
    And I don't use public transport 
    And we both go to the supermarket etc
    The assessor did say that I could be in danger if on own as I can't hear tannoys/asking for directions 
    He also said by looking at my audiogram all my high pitch noises have gone

    Medical evidence isn't really needed for a successful PIP claim.

    How quickly can a decision be made after phone assessment

    Hi @kilburn - after an assessment it can take anything from 2-12 weeks to get your decision letter once the assessor's report is received by the DWP. How quickly a decision is made before this will likely depend on the DWP decision maker's individual caseload.
