We were told 8 weeks by the Assessor, we had our reply 3 1/2 weeks later (in line with what Gordon posted)

Although the DWP get very shirty when we say that the assessment isn't a medical, the simple fact is that it isn't, it is a functional assessment which is very different.
Some of the questions are down to some bizarre beliefs that the those assessing claimants hold about their capabilities, so questions about Facebook are in relation to the claimant being able to socialise, despite the requirement being that they meet face to face and if you are able to look after a pet then you are clearly able to look after yourself.
I'm actually unsure of the bedrooms question, maybe it's to do with cleaning, if it is then they had better not look in our spare rooms! The bathrooms is to do with whether you have to go up or down stairs when you need the loo.
