PIP Assessment (home) was created by Sassy
Hi I'm new to the site & may have posted this in wrong place. Anyhow I've just received my assessment for pip 11.30am on 16th Feb by capita at home. It's my 1st time claiming pip so I don't know what to expect & im very anxious about it. I have fibromygia, degenerative lower back, anxiety & depression. Would welcome any advice as I really don't know what to expect I was surprised they coming to my home (without me requesting it) but that's better for me not having to go to a centre as I wouldn't cope well in that situation.
Thank you Sassy

Home assessments are not significantly different from the ones done at the Assessment Providers offices, there's a section at the back of the PIP Claim guide that covers the assessment and the questions that you are likely to be asked.

Thanks for the information, if they don't ask should I offer them to look at places like my bathroom that have been adapted to help with my condition ? (as i stated in my claim form)
Thanks

You don't need to show them around your house and I would not expect them to ask :)

I had telephone call for pip and half the questions where on using bathroom aids from what I can work out the interest was how aid was used and part played by helper in using it
