Does anyone know if you miss a call from Pip assessment (maximus in my case) trying to do a paper based assessment (I called to confirm) Which was then passed for a full phone assessment will the assessment be any different? Like will it be easier seen as they wanted to do it without or will it be a full assessment as normal?

    I don't believe it would make any difference @maylemon.

    If they thought they had almost enough information to make a paper based assessment, they may not have as much they feel they need to ask at the telephone assessment, but they will still need to be thorough to make sure they have enough information.

    I am the same with you @Morgan_Scope. In fact it might be easier especially if you are like me who needs a scribe due to having poor fine and gross motor skills but thankfully I have my mum who supports me.

    On the other hand, it may be hard if you have mental health issues or social anxiety where you struggle to talk on a phone and if this is the case I would suggest a face-to-face assessment

    No they tried to do a paper based they told me but I missed the calls ( they just needed a few questions) now cause I missed them they put me through for a phone assessment next week. My last assessment 3 years ago was face to face and I got 15 points daily living for mental health and 12 points mobility. I'm just hoping it's not a full assessment again because they wanted to talk to me before, I'm now panicking and stressed I'll lose everything.
