Hi can anyone help. Is there any way of finding out what areas Capita or Athos operate in? I want to find out if my pip assessment will be at home or at a centre? Am I correct in thinking that Capita do them all in your own home? Also for my ESA face to face I sent in a letter requesting a home visit if I need to do this for pip at what point during my application do I need to send this letter in?

You are more likely to get a home visit with Capita than ATOS but they still do a significant proportion of the assessments in their offices, you will need a new letter from your GP explaining why you cannot at the Assessment Providers offices.

I would send a copy with the PIP2, but both APs have a habit of booking an appointment without properly referring to the claimants file, so you may need to send it again if an assessment at their offices is made.

Are there any sample answers in the PIP guide for someone who suffers from Fibromyalgia alone?

I suffer from fibromyalgia, on good days I can drive tbh its my life line, I'm on support ESA and have recently applied for pip but after becoming a member on here and reading the PIP members documents I think it sounds almost impossible to make a successful PIP claim if you admit to being able to drive a car even if it is only on a good day. Advice anyone?
