Hi @pound1234,
Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you on board.
You say that you did not ask for a home visit. Have you considered contacting your assessment provider to ask why you are having a home visit?
Your assessor will either be Atos which you can email using PIP-customerservice@atos.net or Capita, which you can contact via their website.
Our benefits advisors also said this on another community discussion which might be of interest to you:"Usually home visits are only if the claimant requests it. I wonder if there was something on the claim forms which makes the assessment firm think that perhaps there are access issues with the centre they would otherwise use? Or it may be that they are doing this in order to get through their backlog, as delays have been an issue with PIP in the past."I hope this helps. If you have any other questions then please do let us know!0 -
I have had 2 home visits over the years and never asked for one so i would not say it was a good sign or a bad one0

Hi I have had my home vist i felt so uncomable I explain that I am in bed alway everyday as the pain and the pain killers I am on make me sleep so I told him it was a man I am a lady 38 as I told him I had bed sores on my num he ask to see them I said I dint want to and he said well he needs to see them I had to pull my pants down and show h8m I felt so embarrassed a shame upset and felt like I was a piece of dirty off his shoe I am still very upset by this i after he ask this I was in tears and just want him to lever but he said he could not leve till after the assessment i still cry about this I a man as shame I can’t get out of bed or dress my self and the fact I have bed sore is not nice to show anyone can anyone tell me if he should of ask to see them please0

Hi pound I really think that you could make a complaint about the person who asked to see the sores because he was the opposite sex because if it had been a female who done the home visit you would not have had any problem my advice is see what others think about what you said and maybe try and get some advice from the citizens advice bureau to see what helpful advice they give you good luck in your claim.0

If it is a CAPITA assessment, they took the contract on offering more home visits than ones at an assessment centre.
