    They will ask about your conditions and how they affect you. We can't tell you exactly what they will ask because we don't know anything about your conditions or how they affect you. You said this is a renewal, if you had an assessment for your exisiting award then it will be the same as that.

    The assessment can last anywhere from 20 to 120 minutes. If you kept a copy of the form you filled in and returned then have a read of that before the assessment. Some people find it helpful to write some notes before the assessment so they have something to refer back to.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    No need to be sorry about being graphic @kateymatey I have Inflammatory Bowel Disease and described it in a lot more detail than that before  :D

    I'm keeping everything crossed for you with the upcoming video renewal assessment 🤞

    When I applied I was awarded Limited Capability To Work, at the time I was going through stoma surgery so I was more in the position of finding it hard to find work that could suit me. My work experience was mainly in retail but I can no longer lift heavy loads, pull in pallets...etc so had to make changes :)
