Hi,

Not sure if this is old news, but a link below contains a 14 minute video ( refer to video #2 - what to expect at an assessment). It is meant to portray what a claimant may expect on the day of a face to face assessment, including the medical.

It was prepared by Maximus and thus one may have grounds for cynicism.

Do claimants / forum members who have attended a medical feel that the video is helpful and/or accurate ?

    Presumably the PIP assessment is very similar to this one ?.......Jack.

    It's well known that what appears in these videos is very far removed from reality.

    my hcp, just incorrectly finished my sentances, got me to squeeze his fingers and mashed away on his keyboard (having declined to look at my medication)

    i saw him dancing in to the staffroom.... (literal, statement)

    this was the re-scheduled appointment (second) as the first lady didn't know how to type her password into the computer.

    (i didn't watch the video)
