Now that there are four different companies - Capita, Ingeus, Maximus and Serco - providing work capability assessments and PIP assessments, we’d like to hear about your experiences of dealing with them, so that other claimants can know what to expect.

Everything including:

  • are letters from them clear and detailed;
  • can you can get through on the phone,
  • do they offer face-to-face assessments at a nearby and accessible location,
  • can you easily change the date or assessment type,
  • are assessors courteous,
  • are assessments accurate.

Whatever you want to share with us that you think would be of interest to other claimants, you can post in the comments section below.

Remember to tell us which assessment provider you dealt with and whether it was a PIP assessment or a work capability assessment for universal credit or employment and support allowance..

You can post anonymously, but please bear in mind that comments are moderated before being published and they may not be published, or may be edited, if we are concerned they could lead to legal action being taken against us.

      @Jon My experience is they are all a rotten to the core, and should all be held up in a court of law and made accountable for their horrendous behavior of, which they have inflicted on the masses (claimants)  They should be made to pay huge compensation sums, and be asset stripped, and in multiple cases be imprisoned, and they too can go out of business, and or go on the dole, or, and claim sickness benefits .

      They are all in it for making mega bucks, and bonuses on the backs of sick, ill disabled people.  And none of them ever hold their head in shame.

      @Jon Incredible you can be interviewed by the company twice and get opposite decisions, one being zero points. How could you lose all those in-between two assessments. Makes no sense, something not right with their consistency.  But glad you won it back although having to go through all of that malarkey must of been an unpleasant exhausting experience.
