Hi there forgot to ask- I am having my first face to face assessment for pip on feb 6th- i sent a lot of evivdence /letters of support from family whove seen my symptoms and prevous support workers /menatal health reports etc with my pip application form- i was wondering will the assessor have copies of the evedence and supporting letters i sent with the form on the day of the assessment? or do they just read a report written by the person who got the original form and evedence??? i was planning totake all my evedence with me- partly to remind me what to say as i find it difficult to think of what to say ironically part of my mental illness im claiming for! - but i was wondering do they have my supporting evevdence and do they ask about it? like i said ive never had face t face before so i dont know how it works.
many thanks

Yes, the assessor should have your form and evidence, there is not report produced prior to the face to face.

The PIP Claim guide has sections on the assessment and the questions you are likely to be asked.

Hi Rosina,
Just thought I'd chip in here having just returned from my F2F. I too took all my evidence just in case but on questioning the HP she let me know that she did have access to it and proved it to me by referring to it as she was looking at it. They don't have paper copies but it is all scanned at the DWP and the HP can view it on their screens very easily.

yes, all paper evidence is scanned and there is a system in place in which the HP should engage in
