Hi,
Firstly I'm new here so hello everyone
Secondly, my partner has got a letter for a pip assessment at home and he is wondering if he can refuse this and have an assessment at an assessment centre.
He had another assessment a couple of months ago and that was done at a centre but we are not sure if a home assessment is a good or bad sign?
Thanks

Hi @willow227 welcome to the community! A PIP home assessment is not a bad sign at all, I had a home assessment last week. Same procedure just different place ?Disability Gamechanger - 2019

Hi @willow227 and welcomeYou can rearrange one assessment but if you do so then you must attend the second. A home assessment is neither good or bad. Depending on your partners problems it may be that they recognise he may have difficulty attending a centre or it might just be that a HA spot became vacant and he was next on the list.Be all you can be, make every day count.

A house assessment is a good thing. If you are dealing with autism or other learning disabilities then it seems like the most appropriate option. I requested a home assessment for my son last summer when I applied for the first time.

Hi @willow227, just a quick message to welcome you to the community! Best of luck with your partner's PIP assessment whatever you decide.
