Hi,i'm currently filling out the forms to claim PIP,at the moment i get ESA and was recently after an ATOS meeting put in the support group. It was several years ago that i had an assessment to claim ESA but the PIP assessment sounds to be the same sort of thing,would you agree? The last meeting with ATOS was just a talk.
Yes, PIP - like ESA - is points based so there is certainly a similarity in assessment. Like ESA, PIP claimants should not expect to undergo a 'medical' examination if they have to attend a face2face assessment.
Our PIP guide explains what to expect at assessment.
