I’m not sure I learned much about PIP from that, but I learned something about Esther McVey.
By the way, does anyone know which locations Atos will use to do the assessments? When questioned about Atos not generally offering home visits, in contrast to Capita:
Esther McVey: Atos thought that perhaps the claimant would want to go to locations that they knew well and could get to. Capita have viewed it in a different way.
Ah yes, PIP claimants will really feel comfortable going to the Atos assessment centre that they know and love. Though when the issue of disabled access was raised, which was a big problem at some ESA assessments:
Dr Gunnyeon: Atos are not going to be using any of the centres they use for WCAs for PIP.
