Can I please clear something up. If she doesn't participate this time are you saying that another appointment will be offered.

Every claimant should be given two opportunities to attend and participate before their file is returned to the DWP.

My sister had her f2f today. She did attend but said very little other than yes or no but the assessor did allow me to speak quite a bit after she could see my sister was very uncomfortable. Still not sure how it went though. Thankyou for all your help I will let you know what happens.

I'm afraid I may be quite a wait, PIP Decisions are currently taking about 8 weeks or more.

The issue is with the DWP not the Assessment Providers, it's possible that there are regional variations but we are seeing most members report Decisions being made in about 8 weeks.
