    I agree Zelda it’s wasted time.

    The dwp are good at that. You can ask for a copy of your report whenever you like but you’ll more then likely be told a couple of days is too soon, ring back in a week if your lucky or longer.

    The report is what the final assessment is based on so you can get an idea of how many points you should get on each question.

    Its a good idea to get a copy anyway for future evidence and on my part also curiosity.

    Make sure you make copies of everything you send and always add your name and Ni number on the top corner of each page.

    The reason why tribunals are so successful is they include actual Doctors on the panel, who will know about each condition, unlike the paramedic who did my assessment, who admitted she’d never heard of my condition before.

    Some really good advice on here as always, but use one of the expert help charities or specialist solicitor as they will know the statute on every point and will point out things you may have missed.

    It takes time and a lot of anxiety, but the odds are you’ll at least improve on your daily living or mobility award.
