Does anyone now what to expect at this meeting?
Will it be the same as a face to face at a centre?
Regards

Welcome to Benefits and Work
The assessment will follow the same format as those carried out in an assessment centre. The assessor will probably bring a laptop and pay a lot of attention to inputting your answers. What to expect is explained in our PIP guide
PIP help for claimants
You can chose which room to use and who to have with you. The assessor has no more rights than any other visit to your home, they cannot 'snoop' around the rest of your home (nor have we heard of anyone asking to do so).
I'm afraid the assessors are known to arrive on time, early, late - or not at all.
May I suggest that you bookmark/favourite this on your web browser now so that you can find it easily in future? This will allow you to return with further questions or comments about your PIP without having to start a new topic each time. It helps us enormously when everything relating to the same claim is kept in one topic - and I hope you will find it useful too

PIP Decisions have been taking about 7-8 weeks but we have noticed an improvement in times recently so it may be quicker.
