Hi all,
Not sure what has just happened, i just had a call from a nice man called Felix who spoke with a foreign accent and found english speaking words at times difficult, all this and i asked fro a female assessor???? I went ahead as goodness knows how long i would have had to wait again. We spoke for 20 minutes - is this normal? He asked how my condition affected me and i broke down and then asked what i did in a day. Then said i have all i need, goodbye. So quick and no questions about mobility or how i do things?? Not what i expected....
Is this the normal length considering i went through all sorts of questions for PIP, which incidentally lasted 1hr 15mins and i got turned down but the report was not credible given the first two statements were not about me - i appealed and won full PIP - thanks to you guys!!
I have been giving Fit Notes for 2 years as that is what job centre told me - only got picked up when i moaned to UC that i get nothing and its all about my husband - so that lead to the WCA which i had never even heard about or to this day do not understand.
Just wondered other peoples experience of this. thx

Hi Samiam72
You will have to wait until you get a decision before asking for a copy of the assessors report called UC 85.
You ask if 20 mins is normal for an assessment, on the forum we have heard of times ranging from 15 mins to over 2 hrs, most assessments take around one hour, they may only want certain information as the form you completed with your evidence had all the information they required, unfortunately you will not know until you get the decision letter.
Even if you are successful and placed in the LCWRA group it is worth asking for a copy of the assessors report (UC 85)
