I recently applied for pip and have today received an appointment for a face to face, I am so worried and scared. I was recently reassessed for ESA and I was placed in the support group under regulation 35.

The criteria for PIP are sufficiently different from that for ESA that a separate assessment is required so try not to read anything in to this appointment.

The PIP Claim guide explains has a section towards the back that covers the assessment and the questions that you are likely to be asked.

Thank you for the quick reply Gordon, as always it is very much appreciated. I am terrified at having to go for a face to face after the recent ESA reassessment which was eventually decided without a face to face, although I do realise that most people do need one for pip.

If a home assessment would be better then you need your GP to write the Assessment Provider, it doesn't always work, but may make a difference.

After my recent assesment, I have now received a copy of the assessors report and it looks like they have given me more than 20 points for both mobility and care, if the decision maker agrees with the assessor does this mean I would be given enhanced for both. Thank you for any advice.

An Enhanced award only requires 12 points.
