    Hi @pest118
    There is lots of information about preparing for an ESA assessment here, including:

    There are a few things you can do before your assessment that might make it feel less stressful on the day.
    Think about how your illness or disability affects you - particularly on bad days. You’ll have already mentioned lots of these things when you filled in the ESA50 form, but it will really help if you’re ready to talk about:
    • the kind of things you have difficulty with, or can’t do at all - for example, walking up steps without help, or remembering to go to appointments
    • what a usual day is like for you - how your condition affects you from day to day
    • what a bad day is like for you - eg, ‘On a bad day, I can’t walk at all because my injured leg hurts so much’ or ‘On a bad day, I’m so depressed I can’t concentrate on anything’
