mode of transport to pip assessment
7 years 2 months ago #179167 by Gordon
The DWP don't pay anything
The Assessment Provider may pay for a taxi but only by prior arrangement and you will likely need your GP to provide a letter as to why you cannot use Public Transport.

just a short question do the dwp pay full amount of taxi costs to and from an assessment , why I ask is what happens if the cost in total is about £25, taxi rates are high, do they expect you to use public transport even if you cannot walk from the bus stop because the distance is too great.
