Your assessment is where claims are won or lost

Walk into your PIP assessment knowing exactly what they'll ask

Your report or form gets you to the assessment. The assessment itself is a conversation, and one careless answer can undo a strong form. This builds your personalised prep: the questions, the model spoken answers, the traps and a printable cheat card.

FAQ

Common questions

Is this the same as the Done For You report?

No. Done For You writes your answers for the PIP2 form. Assessment Prep coaches what you say at the assessment, the conversation that comes after the form. It goes well beyond the one-page cheat sheet included with Done For You: full spoken coaching, practice for all 12 activities and your own printable cheat card.

Which assessment formats does it cover?

All of them: phone, video and face to face. You tick which you have (or all three if you are not sure) and your prep emphasises the right things, like voice pacing on the phone, or the physical examination and informal observations face to face.

How personalised is it really?

Everything is generated from what you enter: your conditions, how they affect you, your medication, aids, bad days, falls, whether you work, who you live with and your assessment format. The practice answers are written in the first person, in your situation, not generic templates.

When should I get it?

As soon as your assessment is booked, so you have time to practise. If you give us your assessment date, your prep opens with a simple plan for the days you have left. It is still useful the night before.

Will it match what I wrote on my form?

That is the point. If you built your report with us on this device, the prep offers to use it, and every spoken answer is written to agree with the descriptors, frequencies and aids in your form. If you filled the form some other way, paste the key points into the optional box and the prep works from those. The assessor's main check is consistency between the form and what you say, so nothing here ever contradicts your form.

Does it work for award reviews too?

Yes. Review assessments use the same consultation, with one extra trap: the "what has changed?" question. If you tell us it is a review, your prep includes exactly how to answer that honestly without talking yourself out of your award.

Does it tell me to exaggerate?

Never. Assessors are trained to spot rehearsed or exaggerated answers, and inconsistency harms claims. This is honest preparation: describing your genuine difficulties accurately, without underselling them.

Can I get a refund?

As a digital product generated instantly to your specifications, it is non-refundable once generated, except where required by law. Your statutory rights are not affected. See our Terms.
