PIP assesment today at home

metoyou

Home assessments for PIP are not significantly different from those held at the Assessment Providers own offices, there a section at the back of the PIP guide that covers the process and has a list of questions that you may be asked.

Don't do anything that is not part of your normal daily activities, don't feel that you need to get washed and dressed if this is something that you would not normally do and certainly don't clear up if it's messy.

You can choose which room you are assessed in and they have no authority to ask to see anywhere else. If you have problems preparing and cooking a meal, then don't offer them a drink although I understand they have instructions not to accept it if you do, just in case you poison them

They should have your PIP2 and documents with them and are supposed to have gone through them prior to the appointment, but we have heard of assessors not having them on the day.

Some assessors make a habit of turning up early so just be aware of this.

I know you have said that no one is available to be with you, but I would recommend your asking around again, it can feel pretty lonely being asked questions for an hour or so and a friendly face may make it a bit easier.
