The criteria for PIP are sufficiently different from that for ESA that a separate assessment is required so try not to read anything in to this appointment.
The PIP Claim guide explains has a section towards the back that covers the assessment and the questions that you are likely to be asked.

UNCLE M wrote: Thank you for the quick reply Gordon, as always it is very much appreciated. I am terrified at having to go for a face to face after the recent ESA reassessment which was eventually decided without a face to face, although I do realise that most people do need one for pip.
If a home assessment would be better then you need your GP to write the Assessment Provider, it doesn't always work, but may make a difference.

Thank you for any advice.
An Enhanced award only requires 12 points.
