What should I expect at a PIP assessment in Manchester and can I ask for adjustments?

A ClaimGuide Team Answered by

Your PIP assessment may take place in person at a Manchester venue, or by telephone or video; your appointment letter should explain what to expect. Contact the assessment provider named in the letter as soon as possible if you need reasonable adjustments, an accessible venue, an interpreter or support from another person. Take relevant evidence and explain how your condition affects everyday activities, including good and bad days, rather than focusing only on your diagnosis. The assessor reports your circumstances to the Department for Work and Pensions, which makes the decision; check the latest guidance on GOV.UK for details.
