Went for the dreaded PIP assessment this week with ATOS.

The assessment was carried out at local assessment centre

On my forms had stated that would require a raised chair with arms both in waiting area and assessment room, They had neither when said required one was told they don't have any and have never been asked before for one, so had to perch on receptionists desk in waiting area.

Get to assessment room again no chair so ask if can sit on examination couch, yes no problem she says, can you raise it up please I say, oh it's not plugged in she says, well can you plug it in and raise it up please I say. So get past this hurdle and on to the next, and this is astonshing assessor then says "I'm not aware of what some of these conditions are, I will need to google them" Then jumps on google on her phone. At this point ask her what her qualifications are she says she's a nurse.

So have a nurse doing an assessment when they have no clue what your conditions are, so as can imagine not to hopeful and looks like it be appeal.

Had to share this experience.
