    They don't need to be a qualified doctor as they are not doing medical assessments 

    They are assessing your functionality to complete task's 

    It is up to the claimant to provide medical evidence to support the claim if it is relevant 
    The decision maker also is not medical professional that isn't what pip is about

    @OverlyAnxious forgive because i know what i want to say half the time but i can't always trype it and it ends up all over the place yes thats my point ?? regardless of a assessment or a medical i don't believe it should be a paramedic to do this work. Ad such. I feel it should be someone with a understanding so they play god as such if they feel like putting down correct info i don't no but that seen unfair. So many people have gone though stress etc by paramedics not, having full understanding of someones illness. Sorry i don't want to upset anyone.

    It's the claimants responsibility to fully explain how exactly their conditions affect them so no knowledge is needed. You can have 2 people with the same condition that will be affected differenly. Therefore i see little point in having any knowledge of any conditions.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
