pip medical report, obtaining a copy

sorry if this question has been answered already, but I cant find it anywhere,
the person I care for had their pip face to face assessment the other day,
we where told by the assessor, that we would hear a decision in three to four weeks,
I presume the decision relies on the report,
so what is the protocol for obtaining a copy of the medical report?
do I wait to get a decision, and if not favourable ask for it then? or do I just phone and ask for a copy?
thanx in advance, and all the best to everyone.............

Hi Wild and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

You can get a copy of the report by contacting DWP and asking for it. People have usually been able to get this a week or two after the face2face assessment but, recently, we have heard of members being told they have to wait until the decision has been made.

I'm afraid that decision are taking around 8 weeks from the face2face in many instances, so you might have a while longer to wait

thanks for the info above,
so up to date,
I waited for three weeks and requested a copy of the medical, and received it last week, unfortunately as expected, not very favourable,
(the other side paying for a biased report, that's what they get)
only 4 points for mobility and 4 for care,
so plenty of things in the report for me to argue about, because no where near actual or a realistic picture of the person I look after.
presuming the decision maker makes his dession solely on the report.

i'm getting to the question
as already posted a few months ago,, because i'm on esa and also a carer, with underliying entitlement to carers allowance ect, this makes me exempt from turning up for work related activity sessions at whatever venue...
I am having visions that the dla award for the person I care for will finish, and this pip application will not be going through automatically,
so will have to ask for it to be looked at again, beffor tribunal.

questions?
just because of the compulsory knock back and stop system, my caring role and work load doesn't also come to a sudden stop..
so
1 - how long does carers allowance continue for after the person they'r careing for entitlement stops.?
2 - will i have to turn up, take part at work related activity group venue, until things have been sorted out in the claimants favour.

Thanx for your quick response Gordon,
i'll post up the decision on the claim and possibly pick every ones brains when it comes through if its not favourable to the claimant,
all the best for now
