Pip

Hey
Many years ago I suffered a stroke which took part of my sight amongst other long standing issues physically and mentally
I received a text for my pip claim
Will I definitely have to see someone at dwp after my gp has confirmed everything as this has me in an absolute panic
Thanks for the update

As CR says, most people do attend a face to face assessment. This Citizens Advice page may give you an idea of how to prepare and what to expect. Do keep us updated and feel free to come back to us with any questions.
It's important you prepare - the DWP will use evidence from the assessment to decide if you can get PIP. Your assessment provider will be Atos or Capita - you should get a letter telling you which one it will be.
A health professional will carry out your assessment - they'll write a report and send it to the DWP.
