Practise for your assessment
Assessments are stressful and easy to get wrong under pressure. This is a place to practise answering, in your own time, before the real one. Your points update as you answer.
About ten minutes. You can stop at any time.
The assessor follows a set script of questions. That is why practising works. You can get ready for almost every question before the call.
The assessor is usually a nurse, a paramedic, or a therapist. They are almost never a specialist in your condition. So explain your days in plain words. You do not need to prove your diagnosis.
What the real call is like
The call takes about 45 minutes. It starts with your medication and your diagnoses. Then the questions about daily life begin. The decision usually arrives two to three weeks later.
