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 ago0 -
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.0

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.Toby2007 said:I read quite alot of people receive a text within 2_3 weeks

I’m surprised they did your assessment over the phone, did you try to get a face to face assessment?0 -
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 assessment0

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.
