I have requested a face to face consultation from Capita at my home address and they have agreed to this. Can you please advise as to what I should expect, is it just a consultation, is it a physical medical. How long does the consultation take, I do not know what to expect,will it be a Doctor that visits me, can somebody please help. Your advise is very much appreciated. Many thanks.
Hi Dd,
Information on what to expect at a PIP Assessment /"Medical" can be read from Page 63 of our :
PIP Claims Guide. (2nd Link on page) Further information on how the Assessment Provider (Capita or ATOS) should carry out the assessment can be seen from the link on this post :
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/forum?view=top...5481&start=54#121606 Feedback from members regarding Capita PIP Assessors is on the main part, positive.
Good luck , and please keep us updated.
