Mental Health Claimants - Questions asked at ESA and PIP medicals

  • The Fiddle - what questions were you asked at the medical, presumably for PIP ?

    Yes it was PIP, it seemed a pretty standard form with not much being asked about my mental health, I had to really go into detail since it seemed all he wanted was short sentences and one word answers. Asked about medication, side effects, sleep, what mental health support I had, did I go out alone, could I drive, how did I get to the appointment, how did I manage money, bills, managing my home, any pets etc. Did I see family and friends? Did I fill out the form alone?

    Everything I said was ignored, as was the supply of medical evidence I provided.
  • are assessments any better since ATOS stopped conducting them?

    ATOS still conduct assessments for PIP.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
