Desperately needing advice

sorry, when you say trained advisor, do you mean like my welfare rights advisor?

just a note, it is the letter off atos/IAS that says they have arranged a new f2f at my home and that they have contacted the DWP. I have not heard anything off the DWP, but all correspondence would have to go through the tribrunal centre now wouldnt it? Were still waiting for their written response to my appeal, but surely they cant just say oh you have to have another assessment because the other one was wrong, then use the new assessment for evidence in a claim thats gone to appeal? its bonkers.

Hi guys, update my appeal was logged on 4th Nov and atos had effectively withdrawn their original AR and then informed me I was to have a home visit for another f2f whole new assessment for a decision they made in Aug! They came last week, and this morning the DWP rang me to say they could now award standard rate for both, when I asked for a copy of the new report and said I thought all correspondence was supposed to go through the tribunal she said there wasnt time as they only had limited time left to present their case and they had already been given an extension by the tribunal (which I was unaware of) and therefore no written notice of the new/revised decision (award) and I have till tomorrow morning, when they will phone me back, to decide if I want to accept or not. If I do they will stop the appeal, if I dont accept I will 'have to go in person and present myself in front of the tribunal' but I thought this is supposed to still go through the tribunal as supporting evidence, and I should at least be able to read the new report before I make a decision?
