Hi Both,

As you will both understand, as of yet we do not have much information regarding the format of a PIP F2F assessment, although we did envisage that it may be similar to that of an ESA F2F.

Here is some feedback from an adviser that attended a PIP F2F with one of their clients, for what it is worth. :

I have read a few posts on various forums, and early indications seem to be that is very much like an ESA F2F, as some of the claimants have also had an ESA F2F, and said this.

The questions regarding a "Typical Day" has been mentioned several times. Also, watching TV, any help that is needed throughout the day and night, how often you go out, and where you go, do you visit friends, go out alone, how you would get there, can you cook a meal or make tea, washing and dressing, and any help needed.

There are questions regarding your medical conditions and how they affect you, and the medication that you take.

There also seems to be a basic examination of upper and lower limb functions, in some cases.
