Hey, I had mine recently. It was very complex. Be prepared is the best advice. They asked a lot about my medical conditions, when they were diagnosed and who diagnosed them. They asked how each condition affects each of the descriptors and asked me the same thing is several different ways. There was no natural flow to the questions and my assessor asked a lot about walking, driving, working, hobbies and pets. Make sure you have a list of all your medicines and any side effects they cause and any medicines you can no longer take because of the side effects. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Is this your first PIP assessment? Or do i remember you having one previously to this? If you've had one before then the process is the same as last time. 

They will ask you questions about your health conditions and how they affect you. It's difficult to tell you exactly what they will ask because everyone is different.

Try not to answer the questions with just a yes or no and try to give as much detail as possible. It can last anywhere from 20 to 120 minutes, sometimes longer.
