Hi Roy,

I have moved your query to its own topic as we ask members not to tag their questions onto other people's topics.

It is possible that other members have used the Hagley Road venue but there is no guarantee that they will see your question.

Your best bet is to phone the venue and ask whether they are wheelchair accessible.

The assessor will want to hear mostly from you about how your conditions limit you. Your wife should be allowed to add things now and then but must be careful not to take over the interview.

In your position, I think I would mention the sleep apnoea so that the assessor does not take momentary inattention for rudeness.

Our PIP guide explains what to expect on the day.

May I suggest that you bookmark/favourite this on your web browser now so that you can find it easily in future? This will allow you to return with further questions or comments about your PIP without having to start a new topic each time. We ask members to keep everything relating to the same claim in one topic as it helps us enormously - and I hope you will find it useful too :)

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
