I'm sorry to have to tell you this but if you have an appointment for an assessment then you have gone past the point where the Assessment Provider is likely to contact your GP for further information.
 
If you have time in the morning have a look at the PIP Claim guide on the following link, there is a section at the back that covers the assessment and the questions that you are likely to be asked.

Best of luck

Assessments times vary, I've heard of claimants that only spent 10 minutes in the interview and others where it took two hours, I don't think you can make any correlation between the time and the likely result.
