Pip phone assessment question

Hi all
so this is the first time applying for pip and anxiety is through the roof. I have my phone assessment this week and today the Assessor called me to confirm my appointment for latter in the week and to ask if I was ok have someone from dwp on the call. I asked what was the reason for this and she said something about them having to be assessed by dwp but it’s all a bit of a blur and I can’t find any information related to this kind of thing so I would be greatfull for any advise
thanks

For peace of mind your better ringing them and confirming the details like you say.
Good luck
firstly thank you to all that commented with advise and support it was greatly appreciated. Just to update I did take the advise and call this morning and spoke to a lovely advisor who contacted the health care professional for me to clarify and they confirmed that the Dwp sometimes sit in on assessment calls to monitor and assess the health care professionals and has nothing to do with the person being assessed. She also said if it was causing me added anxiety that they would pick another call assessment with no impact to myself.
it was such a relief to have it clarified.
