Hi g,

Hi g,

The Assessment will usually follows a set format !

You can read what to expect from around Page 69 of our : PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link down the page)

The following may help further :

An insight into how the PIP Assessor fills in The PA4 Medical Report : Here.

The latest version of : The PIP Assessment Guide which was updated on 28th July 2015.

If your assessment is to be carried out at a PIP Consultation Centre, you should be aware that how you manage the return trip to/from the Centre will be taken into account as part of the actual assessment.

You may be observed on approaching, leaving and whilst inside the Centre.

Assumptions may be made by the assessor with regards to the above.

These assumptions could result in the assessor writing comments/recommendations within the PA4 Medical Report which they compile and send to The DWP.

If it is to be in your home, you can choose the room that it is to take place in, and the Assessor should not need to see any other rooms.

You can of course point them towards any aids/adaptations that you use, if you wish.

You can have someone else to accompany you whether it be in a Centre or in your home.

Good luck and please let us know how you got on !
