Hello. I've just had the letter confirming my WCA is on for next week. It's to be a phone call. I asked my work coach about that, wondering why as I thought the phone assessments had been a Covid thing, and she said that if I had a physical condition that was obvious to the casual observer they would have asked to see me in person, but as it's a mental/neurological condition, they're happy to do it over the phone.
This raised more questions... but I let it go. There's no point arguing the philosophy and ethics of policy decisions with the employees.
Anyway, I fully expect to fail and have to go to MR. This appears to be what happens when you apply based on something like autism. Or am I being too cynical, and/or reading the feedback of cynical people?
Of course, if possible, I would prefer to get through it first time! So I wondered if anyone had any advice or pearls of wisdom they had earned from their own experience? Any potential traps or mistakes to avoid? It's all a tick box exercise, I know, so how do I answer in a way that helps the assessor to tick the correct boxes?
Cheers
