It's not really possible to comment unless you have a link to the full article.
All I can say is that the date of the face-to-face assessment is not relevant. A decision becomes legal only when it is made and put in writing, which will naturally be after the assessment when a decision maker has had time to consider the medical report. It would be from this date that a claimant is no longer entitled.

I don't have a link, I think I have even read of such cases on B&W posts.
I understand what you are saying about the date the DM makes the decision, and receiving written confirmation.
My point was that people are receiving written notification, some time after the face to face, with the date of the decision being the date of the face to face, so any change in benefit rate also from that date.
Any way I know your shorthanded at the moment, and the question has been answered as much as it can be.
It would be interesting though if any members have received notification of the date of decision, as the date of their face to face, and could let us know.
cheers
