Wheelchair or scooter use.

Gareth wrote: I've read on other forums that when someone who uses a wheelchair or a scooter to attend an atos assessment the assessor has told them to walk to the assessment room rather than use their wheelchair/scooter. Obviously if they cannot walk at all then they can't walk to the room; but if they use it because it's painful for them to walk can they do this or are they just making up rules as they go along?
