Requesting copy of assessors report was created by chrisbt
Hi all,
my partner attended her f2f medical last week on friday for her PIP claim (current indefinite DLA award). Possibly jumping the gun a bit but while we are stuck in limbo land waiting for the dreaded envelope to arrive, which we are informed takes 4-6 weeks, is it possible to request the assessors report, if not how long do we have to wait? I realise after looking on here that auditors etc can fiddle with it afterwards, but just thought at least if we can request it now, then we can plan an appeal depending on what the report looks like instead of just sitting around waiting.
Cheers

There should be no problem with your requesting the report now, just phone the DWP office dealing with the claim.

Rang up to request this morning.. told they do not yet have the report, it can take two to three weeks but they will send it out as soon as they have it. Did have a look for a DWP email to confirm request in writing but can't seem to find one.

The DWP will not normally communicate with a claimant over email, you will have to confirm the request in writing to the DWP office dealing with your claim.
