    They will want to know what a typical day is like for you, at least that’s my experience for all my WCAs and I’ve had 3 or 4 over the years. It was the same for my daughter last year.
    I can only give good experiences for all mine. The assessor was kind, thoughtful, considerate and well mannered. 
    Remember you will mostly only read the bad stories on any internet forum.

    If you will need the oxygen i don't know why you wouldn't take it with you.

    @MartynSinclair2 I had my WCA at the start of the month and the assessor was so lovely & patient which was a pleasant surprise! I hope your assessment goes well :)
