I have to attend a medical next week. Have you any tips on how to act in assessment centre and how to get through it without crying. I am going to take my teddy bear to hold as this is a nice item. I have mental health condition.

As many @Lynette1066 have given you some sound advice in your thread you've already posted yesturday here https://community.scope.org.uk/discussion/45945/maximus-medical-friday-13th please keep as calm as you can be. One other tip to add which I missed advising you is to take someone with you for support. And your teddy too.

Thank you for this. So new to this sort of thing. But I am going alone to medical. But with teddy. If I take my son with me I will be concerned about upsetting him, and will not be able to answer. So in this regard, I am happier to go alone to medical. Thanks1

We wish you the very best of luck with your medical assessment @Lynette1066
and understand it is a scary and unfamiliar experience.0 -
Its is an ESA assessment. I will take copies of form. I have already marked I cant do due to mental health, but will add notes of your advice. Due to the supportive letter from GP. I will send this to DWP decision maker. Making sure that they have this important letter along with the medical report.
