Hello, I applied for ESA on 15 June backdated to 9 June. I have been give a phone appointment with a Work Coach from the Jobcentre tomorrow morning and wonder what this will consist of. How much detail of my medical condition would I be expected to give at this stage? Am assuming it's not the full assessment at this stage. Thank you.

Hi and welcome to the community 

It will just be a routine interview like all applicants have 

Have you submitted a fit note if not I would get one 

They will just discuss your application mainly

Yes I submitted a Fit Note when I applied thanks. I want to be prepared to answer questions but need time to think about the answers! Hopefully these won't be too detailed

Hello @sharonbetty

Welcome to the community, how are you? 

The questions shouldn't be anything that catches you out, it will probably just be mainly about your application as Jane says, 

Good luck
