We are now getting the Text messages from the DWP saying they will progress the review soon as they can. My question is can they ' unannounced'. do a phone assessment.? my wife suffers stress and anxiety and is on medication plus can be forgetful when put under pressure. so, as her representative i would also need to be present. as i would be if it is a face-to-face assessment as i have all the facts and information hand . thanks for any replies
Your wife should get 7 days notice of a telephone assessment. If you are her official appointee - you can carry out the assessment. If you are an unofficial representative, the amount you are allowed to say to support her will depend on the assessor.
