PIP assessment

HI ,
Just had my PIP face to face assessment and am a little concerned that I was only asked if I could plan a journey to a familiar place , no mention planning or getting to an unfamiliar place nor if I could get there using public transport.
This was an Atos assessment at Selby Hospital.
Is this usual ??
Have any other members had a similar assessment and then been awarded enhanced mobility??

Thanks
Nic

Hi,

I have a telephone assessment tomorrow and beginning to get a little nervous about it even though I have an award already for Higher Mobility and Standard Care.

Originally my first claim was refused but at Tribunal it was given, around 10 years ago now.

Subsequent reviews have all been successful the last one being paper based from what I remember.

My concern currently is that the assessor will not know the history of my PIP journey and will treat me as a new claimant, the amount of evidence I sent was minimal to be honest though.

Will the DWP question any discrepancies that the assessor may write or rely on the historic claims also ?

I may be stressing over nothing but until the award is continued I have no trust or faith in the assessors or DWP.

I think the assessment went well though time will tell I suppose.

One thing I didn’t expect was the phone call the day before reminding me about the appointment and the question about having people listening in to the call for training purposes, I agreed that they could, I then decided that I didn’t want to allow it as I was unsure what could be discussed following the call between the assessor and learner !

Hi, following on from the assessment which went very well I have been awarded both parts at Enhanced rate.
When filling in the review form I pretty much completed it with comments like” I still need the aids / assistance from my previous claim” then added wording to say what these were.
Very little evidence submitted with the form but the note from the reviewer agreed with me and commented that it was consistent with medical history that my needs have increased slightly.

Nice ending when I then received over a full years back payments which I wasn’t expecting.
