There seems to be a lot of confusion around the title of the assessment carried out for PIP. If it is in fact a 'medical' as some call it, would it not have to be carried out by a medically trained person. Ive read some people have have blood pressure taken, been 'examined', and/or asked to 'perform' various exercises. This seems to cause some anxiety and confusion over who can do what?
Does anyone know where the term medical assessment came from/

Hi Rr,
Maybe because they were more akin to a traditional Medical in times past.
They are more a Q & A session now which may involve some basic physical examination.
