Good Afternoon to you all. I am having my PIP assessment this Thursday the 23rd of February, between 10.30am and 12.30pm. I am feeling very nervous. It says it can last up to an hour. It is my 1st assessment, I would welcome your comments please. I am not too bad , continuously out of breath now, just walking. Thank you patricia7.

Hi

PIP or Personal independent Payment is a UK benefit, for people with mobility and care needs. As it is not means tested paid on top of any other benefits that you receive whether in employment or otherwise .

The face to face assessment is ensure you meet the criteria.
