Hi I've written on the forum and read lots of postings about PiP atos

n maximums.

What I'd like to ask is can some of you state what area you are in

This may give others a clearer picture how these assessments differ

Thanks I think it may be of interest to lots of us.

      Hi I'm the same. Sent my form in for renewal had to complete new form. Award due to expire may 17. Received a letter yesterday saying that atos are coming to do a home assessment, is this normal for a renewal? I'm worried I case they stop my award. I gave them all information & no changes in condition, I'm awaiting a surgery this month due end of month but could get a cancellation with any luck. My appointment is for Friday this week, this is really short notice, I already have plans, appointment this day & cannot be in so I'm worried this will look bad aswell, as I will have to rearrange the appointment but will be awkward to give a date as I could get called into hospital at any time up until the 23rd sept. the whole letter as made me worried as before I went to to a centre for assessment. I feel really anxious, worried & intimidated by this I would have thought my form & paperwork would be enough information. I spoke to CAB today & they said they can do this if mobility pain levels are bad, they are but I think I'd prefere to go to a centre. They also said it's important for the appointment to go ahead which I'm aware of this but I only received the letter & have another appointment arrange that I can't cancel. I've not slept for 2days now worried & I won't sleep tonight. I'm in westyorkshire area aswell. 

      ?Pas anybody else had this experience? Thanks

      Cancel your other appointment or rearrange it, surely it isn't as vital as the pip visit.

    I'm in Leicestershire, had my assessment today and she was very nice, she was here nearly 2 hours and typed most of the time.

    Yes she was nice but still no idea if I will receive any pip but will have to play the waiting game I suppose.

      You can ph9ne up pip on m9nday and request the assesors report this would give you a indication on what points could be awarded and what the assesor recomemends.i did this and worked out what award i would get

      So they would send me the report which would consist of all questions/answers etc??

      Don't suppose it would make any difference to outcome would it, do you know roughly how long it takes for a response after assessment.
