Had my assessment!

The HCP said he didn't understand why I had been called in (does that mean he knows i'm unwell or knows i'm well?) because I explained myself very well in the form (thanks to B&W) and my Gp gave a good detailed report (which surprised me because she refused to write a report for me and I feel our relationship is not the best).

So that must mean that your HCP had access to your completed ESA50. Is that usual, I wonder?

I thought the HCPs just based their assessment on the results of their own examination.

Anyway, it sounds to me as though you don't have much to worry about.

Thanks Mark for your optimism. He did tell me he read it and he actually quoted something from it, commenting that I was very precise.

Glad it went ok MG!!

Glad to hear your assessment went well i have mine next tues got a medical report to take with me from my gp and my mum is coming with me.

A HCP cannot possibly assess your disability without knowing what disability you claim to have, hence it's necessary to carefully read the ESA50 and all the evidence you forward.
