Hi Eric

What was the time frame between each assessment?

When you say two pip phone assessments, was the first phone assessment when you contacted DWP to apply for PIP.

The second assessment after you sent in your claim form?

Hi Eric

As I thought in my first post, your 'first assessment' was not an assessment, it was to see if your are eligible to claim PIP. Were you sent a PIP form to complete after your first phone call?

Hi Gary I have been through it all before the last time it was a face too face home assessment in 2018 or 2019 not sure which I didn’t get enough points so I appealed and went to tribunal where I was awarded pip it run out in January so done the form and got word back about my phone assessment which took place 5 or 6 weeks ago when they phoned yesterday I thought it was there decision but no they said I had to do the phone assessment again the whole thing nightmare

Hi Eric

This is most unusual. I would ask them to record the assessment and you would be advised to make a recording yourself. Don;t tell them you are recording it, or they will stop the assessment.
