Hi
I am from Northern Ireland first time on here, I have been in receipt of DLA for nearly 17 years i recently received a PIP form which i had to fill in. If i have to go for a face to face meeting is the person interviewing me a Doctor , i have read some messages on here that people have had home meetings and this was carried out by nurses.. Also where in Belfast are the PIP meetings held.

They use anybody that has some sort of medical background - young nurse, paramedic, physiotherapist in fact anybody that understands what your feet are connected to!
The computer software that they use to assess you could in fact be operated by almost anybody.
What I also would say is that like life in general there are good assessors and poor ones that shouldn't be let near you.
Some will listen to you, some will make their own mind up ignoring anything that you say.
