Hi,During the assessment you'll be asked questions about how your conditions affect you, you'll need to verify what you wrote in the form. They will assess your ability to do any type of work because the work capability assessment is about the work you can do rather than the work you can't do.Unfortunately, receiving PIP doesn't automatically entitle you to limited capability for work because they are different benefits with totally different criteria.Do be aware that you'll be watched from the minute you arrive to the minute you leave. If you have any extra evidence then you should be able to hand it to the HCP during your assessment.Some info in this link https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/sick-or-disabled-people-and-carers/employment-and-support-allowance/help-with-your-esa-claim/esa-medical-assessment/Good luck.
