form went off week later got a letter from capita asking me to come to a medical in less than 2 weeks
it list how I should make the trip which is over an hour away
but it they not looked at my form as I said I cant walk more than 50 yards yet they want me to walk half a mile to a bus stop


can you ask for a home visit now ???

if I am forced to go can you have the medical assessment recorded as my memory is not that good

You will need to get your GP to write to Capita on your behalf explaining why you cannot attend at their offices, any decision on this is at their discretion.

You cannot request a PIP assessment be recorded, the Assessment Providers are not required to provide this facility. You can provide the equipment your self but you will need to provide a dual recording facility using either tape or CD, digital recordings will not be accepted. You will still need permission to do this.

You can also covertly record the assessment, but you should be aware that if found to be doing this the assessor may curtail the assessment and you might be classed as failing to participate.
