Hi there 

Sorry gals for us to say without knowing the question or answer ? 

There are no right or wrong answers its about how your condition affects your ability to do the tasks

Hello and welcome to the community @gypsycaril

Not necessarily no, there's the rest of the assessment to consider. It's common to not be overly delighted with the answers you give, or to forget to mention certain points. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

What was the question, if you don't mind me asking?

It was at the end if the assement i have fybromyalgia .fnd. ddd inmy back . I have hip and knee arthritis  and bilateral hip dysplasia.mental health issues . Sleep apenea.and i had a stroke 2 years ago . I have never claimed benefits before .its my first time . I have waited 6 month for the assesment .i am 64 year old . She went through evrthing .i did have evrything written down but didnt get chance to look at paperwork cos it was really qui ck each question.i am really struggling with lower back and cant get around . I also have numbness in my feet .i explained all of that .and she asked me when i go to the supermarket.and i cant find something would i ask for help or would i walk away .bearing in mind i tild her i dint do the shopping and i cant get around which is true .i said walk away .i didnt realise i said it until i put the phone down. I was just concentrating on answering the question . How stupid of me .sorry about the long post
