A home assessment is not significantly different from those carried out at the Assessment Provider's office, the PIP Claim guide has a section that covers this and the questions likely to be asked.

Could you please tell me how they assess you walking on home visits,and do they ask to look at adaptions and aids.

They may ask yo to walk in your house, however if this would cause you unreasonable pain or distress, then you can refuse but explain to the assessor why your are doing so.

I would not expect them to ask to see any aids of adaptions that you have.
