Do I need to provide my bank details for a PIP assessment?

A ClaimGuide Team Answered by

You do not usually need to give bank details to the health professional carrying out your PIP assessment. If you qualify, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will normally ask for payment details so it can pay your award into your account. Only provide financial information through an official DWP contact or secure gov.uk service, and be cautious of unexpected requests from callers or messages. Check the official PIP guidance on gov.uk or contact the DWP if you are unsure.
