CCCS DMP review

sjk100

I started a DMP with CCCS towards the end of last year and am due my 'review' shortly. I was wondering what this usualy involves? Is it merely a phone call to go over the budget set for me, or does it involve sending off wageslips and statements etc again to the CCCS? (If this is the case will take me a while to sort it as I work away from home, hence me asking on here really.)As always, any help or advice really would be appreciated,thanks.

Hi, for me it was just a phone call.

I just gave my slightly revised figures and then told them I didn't want to decrease my DMP payments so they then "juggled" figures for me to make the same end result.

Nothing was sent off to them at all.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. Have to admit that was what I was hoping would be the case, as getting the papers etc together at the moment would be a nightmare.

The only thing is though - the did write to me to let me know what day they would be ringing me for the review. I rang to tell them it wasn't convenient on that day and so they arranged another day.

If it's due and you know you won't be there to get the letter, it might be worth ringing them.

Hi SJK100,
Normally it’s just a quick call just to double check all the figures in the budget are still all correct. If there are any other options that are available then these will also be discussed in your review to make sure a DMP is still best advice.
