F2f at home but we rejected assessor was created by sas401
My husband was due to have his f2f at home this morning. The assessor that turned up was the same assessor that did my pip assessment last year (who had lied throughout her report) - once we realised who it was we told her we didnt wish to continue as she had lied previously so she left. I rang capita to inform them and they just said to ring again in 5 days. I hope we havent caused problems by doing this but we just couldnt trust her again. Any advice on how it should move forward would be grateful

Was this the first appointment that was booked or the second?

If the first then I think you should be OK for a second assessment being booked, but you will need to attend.

If the second then t think that there is a real risk of his file being returned to the DWP for failing to attend, you will then have to see whether the DWP accept your reasons for cancelling.

Did you make a complaint to the Assessment Provider about the assessor following your assessment? If you did then it may help your case as you can argue a reasonable risk of bias against you for doing this.

Hi gordon, it was his first assessment for this renewal of his award. He has had one previously but on his original application. This is for his renewal of his pip so would be his first assessment this time round.
I didnt complain after my assessment as i was so exhausted, ill and with difficulties caring for my husband too i couldnt face any further hassle. I have today written in with a brief explanation as to why we cancelled and why i couldnt complain last year.
