My PIP medical experience

My PIP medical experience was created by bbzpda
Just had my medical for PIP. Thought it might be useful for others to hear of the experience.
Done by Capita – very pleasant lady who used to be a hospital nurse.
Capita agreed, without argument, that it could take place at home as I suffer from anxiety and agoraphobia.
Interviewed for an hour.
In the main, the interview followed the questions that are in Benefits and Work’s PIP guide, although perhaps less time spent on fluctuations than I was expecting.
The interviewer used a laptop, but was simply taking notes, rather than following a computer-guided assessment, as far as I could see.
Although my thing is mental, we still had to go through all the questions about preparing food, getting up and down the stairs etc.
I was told at the end that DWP would write with result in 4 to 8 weeks.
All in all, not as intense as I was expecting, and handled very pleasantly. The material in the Benefits and Work guides has proved invaluable for preparation.
