Dear B+W
Apologies ahead if I have not linked with previous Q+As I do my best and not good on tech.

I was speaking with some similarly disabled friends varying ages and older1 (who does not have the PIP issue) said a friend of hers had a PIP
''PIP Interview ''
she called it, and said that it was on the letter as Interview
She said that what was on the letter: she did not attend with her friend:
she said her friend had to stand up maybe do 1 thing: she did not know or clarify any more.

My Question is would that be the medical?????
Thanks AKA now known as an interview: It was at the same address as the medicals. Her pal did get PIP.
Thank you for clarifying if just a different word is used instead of medical or if there are different types of assessments ? Good Wishes

We refer to the assessment as an interview for two reasons;

It primarily consists of questions to the claimant about their problems and

It does not conform to any reasonable expectation of what a medical would consist of.

There may be a short examination, but at best it normally consists of basic limb movement and possibly a short walking test.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
