ATOS - what to expect was created by K8

Hi, I have received a letter from ATOS to let me know my PIP claim has been referred to them for assessment. I am wondering whether to expect an assessment to take place at home or will I have to travel to them? Or is there no way of knowing until I hear from them?

Thanks

Hi KB,

We have had a lot of queries on ATOS medicals, but few in connection with PIP.

Good luck

Jim

Most ATOS assessments for PIP are being done at their PIP Assessment centres, you can request a home assessment but you will need the support of your GP to write a letter explaining why you cannot attend.

There is a section towards the back of the PIP Claim guide that covers the assessment process.
