Requesting paper based assessment was created by Hil
Is it possible to request a paper based assessment instead of a telephone assessment? If so how does this work and what do I need to do to make request?

You can but the Assessment Provider is under no obligation to do one, they will need to have sufficient relevant evidence to write a report without speaking to you, in the current situation the APs have been told to do Paper Based Reviews whenever they can so if you have received notice of a telephone assessment then you may struggle to get it switched.
Contact the AP for your postcode and ask whether it is a possibility and if it is not, what additional information would they need to consider one.

You can request it when you send the form back enclose a letter asking for one but I would also contact the Assessment Provider for your postcode after a week or two to confirm that it has been received,

What does paper based assessment consist of and how does it work? Is it interactive, and how does AP do the assessing? Shld I provide additional evidence when I send in my Dis Affects You form along with the letter requesting paper based assessment?
