Thank you so much for your responses. It seems basically that they make the rules up as they go along! It's worrying though that some support group claimants may not realise that it's voluntary and put themselves under both physical and mental pressure in order to attend the interview. I just hope, in my case that that's the end of it but it is unsettling to say the least. I also found it intrusive to have to explain my health problems and how they affect me to a person who is essentially a clerk. I don't mean to sound pompous when I say that but I did find it awkward. Thank you all again & please all have a very Happy Christmas. Regards
