Hi k,
Welcome to Benefits and Work

This scenario of trying to make PIP Claimants travel to Assessment Centres many miles away is happening all over the country.
See : Here and Here.
You don't say whether it is with ATOS or Capita, but here are both of their contact details:

Hi k,
If you wish to challenge the location of the assessment, and try and rearrange to a nearer location or obtain a Home Assessment, "Yes" you should e-mail Capita.
