Hi
I had a review of LCWRA and at the start of the call the lady said there was another person with her who was training and she asked me if I minded them sitting in.
I had already postponed a previous tel. assessment due to anxiety and didn't feel like it would reflect well on me if I said no to someone sitting in on the call.
Has this happened to anyone you know?
I've requested and received copy of my first and this report and there is no mention of the person who was training being present, so I don't know who they were.
I was awarded nil points and have applied for appeal but this is concerning me.
Thank you

Username_removed said:It does not reflect on a claimant in any way to reject the presence of an observer. It is within your gift to do that. The person cannot possibly be mentioned on the report as they were not part of the process. They were an observer.0

It's also worth mentioning that for LCWRA it's not about scoring points, it's about satisfying at least one of the descriptors, which you can see here. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/universal-credit-uc/uc-faq/3904-limited-capability-for-work-related-activityMay i ask which one you think applies to you and why?
