Do I need proof of identity for a PIP assessment?

A ClaimGuide Team Answered by

You may be asked to prove your identity before or at your PIP assessment, particularly for a video appointment, so check your appointment letter carefully. The assessment provider might accept photo ID such as a passport or driving licence, but requirements can vary. If you do not have suitable ID, contact the provider as soon as possible using the number on your letter, rather than missing the appointment. You can also check the latest guidance on the official GOV.UK PIP assessment page.
