You can get higher rate PIP for anxiety or depression.  It’s easier on daily living than mobility though.  Quite often they favour input from psychiatrist and CPNs.  It’s harder to get if you only have contact with a GP and are not in secondary services.

Regarding the assessment, you shouldn’t have to do anything you don’t want to.  You have the right to withdraw consent at any time.  A GP would be expected to provide a chaperone for such an intimate examination.  Did you have a witness present?  It is hard to prove any wrong doing if it is your word against his.
