Another Deprivation Of Assets question!

It's very strange as everything I had read indicated that calling them won't progress anything and you won't be told anything specific. It's not just that I now know it will be this month, but I have a specific date and time.

So yes, also what I have read, the typical wait for a decision after the assessment is 2-3 weeks, but sometimes longer. So if it goes ahead, with a fair wind I should get the outcome some time in Feb. 

It's also a positive from my MH pov as I can approach this one step at a time now, no drastic action needed in the short term. I've not been able to think of anything else for a good while. Be prepared for any initial outcome, and also some relief that I don't have to try and attend in person or do a video call.

I didn't get any money from DWP now, that was 4 weeks so called again today. This is one of those 'you couldn't make it up' scenarios. Completely understandable, human mistake, the GP has inadvertently wrote '25 instead of '26 for the March year on the end date of the fit note. Out of 10 thousand people, all 10 thousand would agree he intended '26. But no discretion and no common sense to be applied, I have to get him to reissue the fit note with the corrected year. And the only way I was able to discover that was the issue in the first instance was by wasting 20 minutes of their support resources! Nothing ever seems to go smoothly in my benefits pathway!
