    Hi Beekies_1 welcome to the Scope community.  
    Is there anything in particular you are worrying about? All you need to do is answer there questions and tell them everything you can't do if you see what I mean

    Ok I think ? might have been abit easier if she had been more human through out tbh, she was just like a robot lol I know they are just doing a job but maybe if she hadn't been so cold might have helped me cope, and for a nurse she didn't seem to know much, I had to tell her what red flag symptoms were and why it's important to be operated on within 24 ours lol

    Best of luck to you, let us know what the outcome is.

    Do you have any advice to anyone else heading into an ESA assessment?

    I would deffo recommend taking some thing to do to take your mind off the wait, and just be honest, and not be scared to go toilet or leave room if your really struggle, and lastly if you want something to help remember what was said, before you go in ask them to do a recorded interview, they keep two tapes and you get two x
