    Hi @Dotty123
    i know it’s difficult at times but please don’t be angry with poppy she does give very good advice and the fact that she mentioned using a computer is nothing different to what you could be asked at an assessment.
    Bear in mind they could say if you can use a computer you can use your hands unless these things are pointed out at assessment they will find any reason to say you are fit.
    Poppy was just trying to be helpful.Good luck

    @debsidoo thank you very much for those kind words!

    @Dotty123 i didn't block you, i just chose not to reply anymore.

    I was angry with a certain person, who seems to have taken a dislike to me, of which i have reported. I do not and will not have to answer to anyone, much less a person that has clearly taken a dislike to me.

    I genuinely was only trying to help you because as debsidoo has said they will ask you all sorts of questions during your assessment and they are always one step ahead of you.

    I put the link up to the Support Group descriptors so that you can see if any of those will apply to you.

    I know exactly how scary these assessments are because i had mine in October/November and i can't tell you how nervous i was. Just be honest and answer those questions as best you can.

    I know it's worrying because you don't know what will happen if you were found fit for work but try not to worry just yet because you're still receiving your ESA. If the worst happens then come back here and someone will advise you what you need to do. Always remember that we only ever hear the bad stories on the internet and rarely hear to good ones. I've never had a bad assessment, or assessment report. Good luck.
    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.

    Good morning everyone hope your all fine glad you've sorted the misunderstanding out like everyone says it is hard to understand people's feelings sometimes at difficult times . Let's all be friends because we've all issues . I've got nothing against poppy perhaps I shouldn't listen to what everyone tells me in the future. Some of the questions seem a little unfeeling but that's just my opinion I'm only human . Sending love to poppy and any misunderstanding forgotten your obviously a lady with good intention perhaps I could learn a lot from a interlectual person like yourself if I've got an issue I'm sure you'll advise myself and others in your honest way and not take it personally when it's not . Good luck all X

    Where was the report sent to DWP or the health assessment provider? It should have been sent to the health assessment. She may not have had it with her but it may have been inside your file. I wouldn't worry too much, although i know that's easier said than done.

    As it was the 24th yesterday, was that when you had your face to face assessment?

    Wait a week then ring DWP to request a copy of the assessment report to be sent to you. This will give you some idea what the decision is likely to be as they mostly go with the report.

    If you don't understand what the letter means, i'll happily help you to understand it but to do this you'll need to type some parts of the letter out on here but make sure you don't add any personal information.
