Hi m,

I am sorry to hear that your PIP face to face Assessment was so traumatic !!

I have looked at your previous topic : Here and it is still not clear who your Assessment Provider was, ATOS or Capita.


For information on complaining to ATOS, see : Here


For complaints to Capita : E-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.



If The PIP Assessing HP was particularly bad, you could also complain to their regulatory body, e.g for a Nurse or Midwife, it would be : The NMC , for a Doctor it would be : The GMC

You should be able to obtain a copy of the PA4 Medical Report compiled by The Assessing PIP HP by ringing the PIP Helpline :

Telephone: 0345 850 3322

Textphone: 0345 601 6677

Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm

Just because the PIP face to face went badly does not necessarily mean that you will receive a negative decision from The DWP.

You can still complain about The PIP HP as a separate issue regardless of what the actual PIP Decision turns out to be.
