Today I had my review assessment and found the questions a bit strange.
One question they asked me is WHO DOES THE SCHOOL RUN
Second question asked me if I ever felt suicidal
And they tryed to keep asking me what medication I am on and how much do I take even thou I told them its my wife who helps me with my medication
Am just wondering why I got asked these questions as I never got asked them in my first face to face interview few years ago
Thanks

Hi and welcome
The school run will be to do with mobility another way of asking about going out
Questions about medication are not unusual at all and the suicidal one relating to your mental health
Non of these are unusual in an assessment
Good luck and let us know the outcome

@bigtim7 Good luck with the outcome and please don't be alarmed by these questions. They might have initially sounded odd but the assessor was trying to establish how your impairments impacted your daily living, which is routine practice. If you could let us know how it goes that would be greatOnline Community Co-ordinator

@bigtim7 you can telephone them in a weeks time and ask for a copy of the assessors report (PA4) that will give you an idea of the award being recommended.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

Hi there @bigtim7 good luck with your review . I was asked a lot of questions to do with my dog like who walks my dog who bends down to feed him ect but I don’t have a problem with mobility but that’s why they ask these questions they asked who walks my dog as I do struggle to go outside my partner walks my dog so that’s why they ask questions like that to do with pets and children .As for the suicidal question I was asked that as my disability is mental illnesses they also asked me bout medication and when my community team thought I would be able to have my trauma therapy . They do ask those sorts of questions .
