PIP Assesment rescheduled

PIP Assesment rescheduled was created by Neal
After attending with my wife today we were told there would be a 40 minute delay, we reluctantly agreed to wait as the assessment centre is difficult to access. After 40 minutes the receptionist came over to us to tell us that my wife's appointment had to be rescheduled as the supporting letter from her GP had stated that she had suffered from TIA's and could only be assessed by a Doctor, is this correct? I also asked why this had not been arranged prior to my wife attending as this information had been provided in my wife's original application to which she replied that she agreed and that she had made a call about it.
Any views please

Hi and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

I'm afraid this does happen on occasion. The root of the problem is that the people making the appointments do not see the claim form, or any of the information therein :(

I would like to draw your attention to this post, which can be found in the 'Spotlights' section at the top of this forum -

You might want to bookmark/favourite this on your web browser now so that yopu can find it easily in future. This will allow you to return with further questions/comments about your wife's PIP claim without having to start a new topic each time. It helps us enormously when everything relating to the same claim is kept in one place - and I hope you will find it useful too :)

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
