How long for assessors report was created by Sunshine99
Hi guys
I had pip telephone review last week Tuesday and I’ve called today and they say the report is not there yet ? Is it taking longer due to covid ? I still thought there was a timeframe in which they had to be done ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Sunshine99
Before Covid reports were supposed to be uploaded within 48hrs. However, we have seen considerable delays on this deadline - thought the DWP have not published that there is now a delay. I would keep on it, because one member of B&W successfully argued when they received a poor report that it could be accurate as it had been written long after the assessment had taken place and the assessor had been dealing with lots of other reports.
So next time you ring, I would ask what the delay is and note down the reply.

Hi Sunshine99
I would phone them everyday, as BIS has stated your assessment should be uploaded within 48 hrs, some DWP staff are more willing to help than others, some will just fob you off without checking, it just the luck of the draw, but keep trying.

Sunshine99, Gary is right - if you can get your hands on that report a bit before the 'decision', you can write to DWP to contest any bits of it that you can show are wrong. It is worth it, we got our daughter Enhanced x 2 doing this, very politely. Eg "In paragraph X the assessor states
however Doc 99 shows that
." The sooner you get the report the better chance you have of having time to a] go through it carefully, b] write your response letter and c] send it in tracked before the decision gets made.
Very best wishes, Denby
