  You  should have sent these copied in with your PIP application but there shouldn’t be a problem taking copies to your acessment and asking, requesting that they be read and taken into account.

  I disagree with that. A lot of HCP's will refuse to accept any evidence from you on the day of your assessment. I've heard it happen many many times.

  Yep so true.
  Told me at my first assessment that "she wasn't interested in what they say - they should go to the DWP".

  I was told to send mine to DWP because he couldn't accept it and he actually gave me an envelope to post it to DWP

  My acessor took photo copies of the additional evidence i handed in at my acessment, and at my second acessment I handed the accessor a statement which he gave me an acceptance note before leaving.
