Hi Anita,
It all depends on how you've worded your application form, but you definitely don't need to attend. I didn't with mine, and was awarded PIP for both, with just the telephone consultation.
Different people will have different views though, with some likely being that showing the doctors how much of a state you end up in, can work in your favour.

Hi Anita
You have to do what feels right for you. There are plenty of people who choose a paper-based decision. The disadvantage of you not attending is you cannot answer any questions the panel may have.
If the panel feels that they cannot make a decision without meeting you, a new date will be set, and you will be asked to attend.
