Pip assessment at physiotherapist

Hi was just wondering if anybody else has had their PIP assessment at a physiotherapist I'm being moved from DLA to PIP and I've just received my letter and my appointment is next Friday at a local physiotherapist? Is this the norm

The assessment providers simply hire rooms where they can, the fact that your appointment is at a physio clinic does not have any other relevance.

In fact, my own PIP assessment, earlier this year, was also held at a local physio clinic and was carried out by a nurse.

yes, I had my pip medical with a physiotherapist 4 weeks ago. still awaiting my result. She was nice so try not to worry x

Its hard not to worry, so scared I will lose my mobility car as its my lifeline, I am every night familiarising myself with the questions they are going to ask as I find it hard to concentrate, question - is my wife allowed to take notes at the assessment?

I too had my assessment at a Physiotherapist although the assessor put down her occupation as Nurse. Unlike the previous poster I can't say it was a pleasant experience but go well prepared and make sure your voice is heard. Good luck.

Yes, your wife is allowed to take notes - although we recently heard from a member who had problems with this on the day.
