Home medicals for PIP and ESA, what's your experie

For attention of Mods

My experience may be of interst for the above surveys.

I have not had or witnesses an ESA/WCA or PIP assessment carried out at home, but have had two assessments for War Disablement Pension carried out by ATOS HCP's ( Doctors) at home and they qwere less stressfull thanwhat my Wife and Son experienced for ESA & PIp at an ATOS or Maximus centre.

All WDP assessments are caried out at home by ATOS

In the first WDP assessment I received the level of award I expected. In the second the Doctors observations in her report meet my expected out come but tghe MOD decision maker decided to award an increased award but less that I believe I warranted. This is the subject of an ongoing review/Appeal.

I have set out below answers to Q9 of the PIP survey as they were for my WDP asswessment. I hope this is useful to you.
