I’m doing a PIP renewal where you state whether there are any changes to condition. Send evidence where NHS letter supports each living activity area.

Can PIP assessment be on weekends?

Hi HappyUnwell

I did hear of one person being offered a weekend date once, but I think this may have been a mistake. I haven't heard of anyone else being given a weekend assessment. I'm sure one of the other mods will correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi HappyUnwell,

I thought I'd mention that while I'm not aware of there ever being PIP assessments carried out at weekends, I seem to remember an acquaintance having a weekend ESA assessment some years ago.

It may have been due to a backlog at that time or my cloudy memory tricking me.

Regards,

Phrank.

Hi HappyUnwell

I have not heard of a weekend assessment, if it is a telephone assessment then that could be possible but for a face to face assessment it would cause too many risk assessments to be carried out to be viable.
We now see risk assessments when the sun comes out to play..B)

I once had an assessment on a Saturday, but that was for ESA and was with atos who I don't think do assessments anymore .
