Hi,

Normally a DLA medical assessment would be held at ones home, where one may feel more comfortable. It may also give the assessor more insight as to how on lives as a disabled person and what ones care/mobility needs are (which is what an award of DLA is based on).

There is a guide to DLA medicals in the members area (accessible from the orange box on left of forum).
