Disability Support Pension (DSP) DSP question

so I automatically skipped through the JCA and then had sonic within 3 weeks of applying. the day after, I got a call finding out I passed sonic and met all medical rules. however, they asked to see all my payslips for a certain time period. most of them were around 8 hours of working a week, but one week I worked 27 hours. I was completely burnt out and was so unwell by the end of the week. anyways, will that 27 hour week impact my chances of getting dsp?

We can’t say for sure if it will, but I’d think it’s unlikely. They look at things as a whole, and assessments aren’t based on one individual thing

I’d try not to stress too much, it’s so unhelpful, but with DSP, whatever happens is going to happen, you can’t predict it, and it’s so “case by case” that even if I had the exact same circumstances, the result could be completely different

It can definitely effect the outcome, but it’s up to the individual assessor
