It's not unusual for these reviews to take this long, you can always phone the DLA unit in Blackppol and ask for an update.

I understand they have work to do gordon but the dwp must have peoples records on computer from their original claim so what do they be doing that can take almost 3 months?

They may have written to Chloe's GP and/or Consultants, they may be seeking medical advice from ATOS.

That's why I suggested she phone the DWP, because at the moment, everything is speculation.
