Medical today.

Hi, I have my PIP medical today, absolutely terrified. I have a great deal of supporting medical evidence but don't cope with leaving the house well which is exacerbated by going to an unfamiliar place and meeting strangers. My wife will accompany me. I feel dizzy. It will be a struggle to even get out of the car. Wish me luck and ill let you all know how it goes. Thanks for the amazing help I've received so far. Paul.

Hi, So I had my medical yesterday carried out by Atos.
Arrived accompanied by my wife 10 minutes prior to my appointment time. Several people wearing lanyards outside the building. Made me feel slightly nervous. Went in followed by two of the staff. To the 6th floor by lift. Into a very small waiting room. Cameras on the ceiling and reception desk. Waited 80 minutes after my appointment time. Was informed there was a backlog. Finally called into a room by a gentleman who told me he was a nurse. He walked behind me to the assessment room. Asked me all the same questions as on my PIP assessment form. Spent 90% of the time typing. Even my Yes or No answers were followed by a great deal of typing. Said he wouldn't ask me to climb onto the examination bed but tested my grip and leg strength. The whole thing lasted 50 minutes. He then followed me from his room to the lift. When we exited the building, there was a guy taking a picture of the interior of my car. Must be to confirm my driving aids.
Overall, it was a rather uncomfortable experience especially for someone who ventures out rarely. Thanks for your advice and I will let you know when I hear my decision. Paul
