Hi and welcome

This sounds like part of a cognitive test using memory skills about spelling and maths.
Whether or not it has any place in a PIP assessment will depend on each individual's circumstances and reason for claiming.
Whether or not any particuar ATOS assessor is competent to test a claimant's cognitive skills is yet another question!

Trust you are successful

Re: pip questions

Remember if they reject your claim and it goes to mandatory reconsideration then it will most likely be refused. This is because DWP staff are required to refuse 80 percent of mandatory reconsideration.
