Hello Richard,
As you say, not a good start to your assessment. I suppose the first question is are you able to participate in the assessment tomorrow or do you actually need more time to prepare, e.g. by arranging for someone to be there with you. If this is the case, then you clearly have the right to refuse the assessment and request another date.
If however you have been able to get yourself set up for your assessment you may wish to start off by telling the assessor that you wish for it to be recorded that the letter from capita was incorrect and you were not phoned etc etc.
Good plan to record it! Hopefully however the hiccups are now all over and you will have someone who is able to understand the difficulties you experience with life.

Thanks for the reply Catherine. I knew 3 weeks ago my assessment was going to be on the 21.5.21. I can't understand capita sending the letter about me agreeing to a short notice assessment. Maybe I am wrong and it's a standard letter they send to everyone. I have had 2 letters and a txt reminder everyday since last Saturday.

What ever you do, do not tell them you are recording it. Speak slowly , ask them to repeat the question, get them to prompt you, don't be over confident, remember what you said, have a pen and paper with you.
Good luck, you will be fine
