    Heh, I was thinking 'okay great, no need to worry about an assessment yet then' and today the text comes through from HAAS to tell me they've got my case and will contact me if I need an assessment.  Still, I don't know if I'd have fully understood without the explanation here that the DWP one was before they sent it across to the assessment providers, especially with the timing of a(nother) DWP text yesterday.
    That's a shame, I was really hoping you would have had a decision without them sending the form across. A paper based assessment is still possible at this stage. 

    I was one of the lucky ones and my form wasn't sent across so I never got that message you did today, only the other ones. 
    I held out hope, but alas, not to be this time.  They've booked a telephone assessment for me, a smidge over a year since my review forms were sent back.

    [I really hoped I wouldn't be having to explain how and why my health is even worse than when I sent those forms back (and why I didn't bother telling them about it - because I already qualified for enhanced, it makes no material difference) but here we are.  *sigh*]
    Yeah a bit of a shame to face this.... especially when only in last couple of days there's this which hopefully will mean more paper based assessments:
