in PIP, DLA, ADP and AA

Recently I contacted by post  CAPITA regarding change PIP assessment location from Assessment centre to my home, also asked copy of consent form because I wish record PIP assessment.

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-independence-payment-assessment-guide-for-assessment-providers/pip-assessment-guide-part-1-the-assessment-process#face-to-face-consultation

PIP Assessment guide 1.6.57 - 1.6.60

I received letter with new assessment date and time (they agreed change location), but I not received consent form, also they not provided any information why this form not enclosed.

Please  let me know how long I can read consent form during assessment, because I still not received this form?

Assessor should leave a copy of consent form to me? If no, can I take copy/photograph of consent form where I signed?

    @rbz - If I remember correctly from my assessment (and I might not because my memory's not the best) the assessor has two copies, one for you and one for them...

    There any time frame for consent form reading?
    Can I read 10 minutes or more?
    I asked this form in advance, because wanted to carefully read before assessment. 
    But still not received.
    My assessment on Wednesday 29th January.

    I’m not sure whether they send then out in advance. You would need to sign it on the day.

    @rbz - it's only one page, standard stuff, won't take you ten minutes I wouldn't have thought...

    I'll see if I can find mine...

    I want to claim severe premium

    Hi @morcom, most of the time the severe disability premium is added automatically if you are eligible. If this is not the case, you can speak to your local Jobcentre Plus to see if there are any premiums that need to be added.

    Contact Jobcentre Plus: How to contact Jobcentre Plus - GOV.UK

    If you're feeling confused about whether you'd be eligible you'd be more than welcome to ring or email the Scope helpline:

    Helpline | Disability charity Scope UK

    Or it may be worth speaking to a local benefits adviser who can look at what you're already claiming and tell you if you'd be eligible.

    Hope you can get some clarity soon ☺️
