Hi one and all,

I have my PIP F2F next week and despite searching this site, I can not find any information regarding the requesting of the interview to be recorded.

One of my conditions is complex PTSD which I am extremely embarrassed about, especially if I go into a rage etc. ATOS and the SPVA are aware and they have classified me (PV )potentially violent.

I am unable to control any of my symptoms ie, flashbacks,switching off, hyper vigilance etc. Do I need to inform them of this or just let it go and see what happens on the day.

Thank you :woohoo:

Hi Mm,

You can read what to expect at your PIP Consultation from Page 70 of our : PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link on page)

You should be aware that how you manage the return trip to/from The Assessment Centre will be taken into account as part of the actual assessment.

Observation may be made on approaching and leaving the building and whilst inside.

Assumptions may be made from said observations.

Good luck and please return to let us know how you got on.

Yes, I would inform them of your problems beforehand, and on the day prior to the assessment.

Thanks for the reply Bro much appreciated. I only ever leave the house with the wife and can't understand why a home assessment could not be made, but if that's the way it is.

I am also still recovering from full knee replacement which was a week ago today, you really couldn't make it up.
