    Sometimes it can yes but it shouldn't. Some say it didn't go against them and some say it did, mine didn't. They shouldn't expect you to do anything that causes you pain and discomfort.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    You didn't perform the exercises?

    Thanks for the reply.

    A politicians answer!
    But the difficulty is convincing the assessor that it genuinely would cause pain and discomfort instead of them believing that you are trying to pull a fast one.
    One of my reports said that I refused to co-operate with the physical assessment. No mention of what I said about the pain - she just left it hanging in the air which could also be said to mean that I simply refused for no good reason.
