Hi there
They will use your form and any evidence as well as the assessment report
The assessment will be based around what you put on the form trying to get more info
Too late now but for future you should put as much detail on the form as you can and treat it as a new claim
In some cases they can then do a paper based assessment
Good luck let us know how you get on at least you have done the prep work -
So basically i have shot myself in the foot ?♀️X

No don't worry the assessment gives you the opportunity to expand on what you have put on the form but the questions are led by the assessor
As you have written stuff down cross them off as you have mentioned them then anything left add on at the end
The other option is to submit what you have written as additional evidence and send to dwp
As you don't have an assessment date yet I would try this but keep a copy fir yourself
When sending put covering letter and make sure your name and ni number is in every piece of paper -
Thankyou i will do hopefully gets to them in time x
