Hi m,

I am sorry to hear that your PIP face to face Assessment was so traumatic !!

I have looked at your previous topic : Here and it is still not clear who your Assessment Provider was, ATOS or Capita.


For information on complaining to ATOS, see : Here


For complaints to Capita : E-mail: complaints@capita-pip.co.uk



If The PIP Assessing HP was particularly bad, you could also complain to their regulatory body, e.g for a Nurse or Midwife, it would be : The NMC , for a Doctor it would be : The GMC

You should be able to obtain a copy of the PA4 Medical Report compiled by The Assessing PIP HP by ringing the PIP Helpline :

Telephone: 0345 850 3322

Textphone: 0345 601 6677

Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm

Just because the PIP face to face went badly does not necessarily mean that you will receive a negative decision from The DWP.

You can still complain about The PIP HP as a separate issue regardless of what the actual PIP Decision turns out to be.
