Hello katkin. When they notify you ask/request for a home visit because of your ailments and when you get your visit my advice is to have a independent present with your reassesment ,, all the best Will
Obviously it all very much depends on who assesses you. CAPITA are more likely than ATOS to give an automatic home visit if they believe that it is in your interests.Willwill said:Hello katkin.

In my humble opinion, it matters very much. Like any interview a second person is a witness and at any hearing could be called or their statement read out. You are allowed to video record the assessment as well.Willwill said:@twonker Thanks for remark...when calling by telephone to DWP for a referral and my statement made on the phone to a receptionist typing in to their system , I told her about the discrepancies of report where I had a witness , that receptionist person advised me to inform the independent witness to send in statement which was a local councillor, letter from witness to DWP was the advice given , yet the assessor claimed he was not there ,the receptionist did not state,, as you say,, "" did or not or if there was someone with you will not matter.""
Can you reference to where this is allowed ?Threesticks said:In my humble opinion, it matters very much. Like any interview a second person is a witness and at any hearing could be called or their statement read out. You are allowed to video record the assessment as well.
You might wish to make notes during your face to face assessment. We are not required to take a copy of these for DWP, nor do we need a copy of them. We ask that you retain the notes for your personal use only. It is possible for you to audio record your face to face assessment. There are certain requirements that DWP have set for the audio recording of assessments that you can find in our Frequently Asked Questions.
Sessions can be recorded. There are a few important points to note if you wish to do so:
For more information on recording your assessment, please refer to the DWP policy on page 31 of the PIP Assessment Guide, or contact our Customer Service Centre. You’ll find the telephone number on your appointment letter or on our Contact Us page.
Threesticks said:It was in an information pack ATOS (Who wasn't ATOS ,according to their opperator) sent to me. This is from their website. https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/comment/www.mypipassessment.co.uk And go to what happens at an assessment section, it's right at the bottom of the page.@Threesticks Thank you for response ,, I can remember when the government disposed of the corruption and suffering of clients,, the contracted french company ATOS was exposed when DLA (before PIP) ,,, when at later time with the introduction of PIP they awarded a new contract to this French company !!!

That still doesn't entirely clarify if there has to be a 'final' reassessment before being given a 10 year award OR that all those who are 65+ irrespective of the award they currently have or the length of their current award or what type of condition that the claimant suffers from. eg. sciatica in one leg/ ingrowing toenail that makes walking difficult beyond 20 metres but no more than 50 metres - Standard Mobility only.Government_needs_reform said:katkin11 said:hi everyone thanks for letting me join/i will be 68 when my next pip assesment for pip comes around (nov2019)i usually have a 3 year assesment but am called in after 2 years,i have ongoing disability and get state pension/will i be called for assesment ?will i be notified if i dont have to attend
@katkin11 I might have the answer for you regarding your PIP. Going by this update you may just get placed on an ongoing award. Good luck.
You can if by having that problem you can show that you cannot walk more than 50 metres.katkin11 said:dont think you can claim pip for an ingrowing toenail/i have artritis/astmah/diabetic/poor eyesight.i was on dla but had to change to pip in 2013,have had 2 assesments with capita,only get the standard care as they took away my mobility
