Hi all,
I’m a little perturbed by the fact my Work Capability Assessment was only 10 minutes. The assessor asked me about suicidal ideation and history of self harm, and then said she had everything she needed and that she didn’t need to ask me about any other of the points.
Does this bode well for me? Is it possible I triggered the ‘substantial risk’ regulation? Thanks!
