They have apperently sent the form to the assessment provider on the 5th of December. I ticked no change for each box and added up to date medical evidence from various professionals to show her disability which is cerebral palsy has not changed. Does the fact that the file has been sent to the assessment provider mean she will have to attend a medical assessment as I assumed with up to date medical evidence that the dwp could make a decision without referral.
The DWP have no in-house medical support for PIP so they will always involve the relevant Assessment Provider when they have a PIP2 or AR1, it doesn't mean that a face to face will be required.

Unfortunately DM's have no medical experience so are unlikely to appreciate the information that you have included.
