How do you answer that these days?
I tend to go for 'FANTASTIC'...never felt better! (with a beamin smile).
But NEVER ask how they are, because.....9/10 you will get snowed under with someone elses 'pity party'. Urinary infections, auntie Em's colonoscopy, the dogs new seat cover...you get the picture.

I have never been asked that by some one whe really meant it, the one who will reply "dont bullshot me mate" and really tryes to where you are at the time.Its amazing how all those close friends and tight family links fall away when you really, really need them innit?

Someone asked me the other day, I said "do you want the truth or a socially acceptable dinner party answer?" He said "Oh! The dinner party answer for sure!!!"

My worst reply was to the snotty Mildred enquiring about my mutts new safety coat, "Is he a hearing dog?"....."Nah I just use him for sex luv"      ba-doom!

We all tend to answer this way even when we visit our GP, duh ! if your are fine, great, fantastic , why the hell are you bothering your GP ?

But seriously, if we do this when having assessments ie. answering in the positive
Assessor : "Can you cook ? "  
Claimant:  "Yes, but I need assisstance with............."

You have already lost the assessor. They heard "Yes" and no more.

Try answering to the same question
"No, but sometimes if I have help ................"

The assessor cannot immediately switch off with a yes answer and has to listen to your reasons.

Try this in every day life, when asked a question say " No, but.......... "
and see what happens

Did you see that TV crime series where a female copper got snagged in the system and met up with mutt & jeff the G4s type prison guards?
It was hilarious and scary at the same time....
If they could, they would ask the ATOS questions the same way.
(Its was bbc thing I think, the policewoman was the girl from Spooks, Thandie Newton did one as well)
