ATOS Assessment Venue

I'm 68, been on DLA for years HR mobility MR care I didn't find this site until after I was 'invited' to apply for PIP unfortunately and had already filled out the necessary forms. I sent them back on 16th June and have today received a letter with an appointment for my face to face (13th July and I'm panicking like mad) The venue is in Plymouth which is 30 miles from where I live, however I saw here on the site that there is a centre only 3 miles away from my home. It would cause me a lot of pain to travel 30 miles each way and was wondering if you think I would be able to change to the one in Torquay or would that go against me if I tried. Any advice would be gratefully received please.

You can ask them to move the appointment to a closer assessment centre, you are allowed to re-arrange once and then you must attend the second appointment. I would phone them up with your diary to hand so that the new date can be booked over the phone and you don't have them sending you a new one at the same centre.
