Hi Peter
I think what you decide to do, depends partly on how you feel about it.
If you've had your PIP assessment, you can ring the DWP and ask for a copy of the assessment report. It's called a PA4. That will give you an idea of what the decision is likely to be. If it looks as if it is going to be favourable, you may not be bothered about a person who says they know you, but you didn't remember them.
If you don't want to do that, you can wait for the decision letter to come out. If you're not happy with the result, you may want to raise the issue about the assessor saying they knew you.
Alternatively, if it's bothering you now and you just want to raise it - you can ring the DWP and tell them what happened. I don't know what they will do with the information. They may insist that you have another assessment. Only you can know if that's something you would want to do.
