Hello everyone, I have my WCA telephone assessment next Friday. This is the first time I have had one and I have been reading that I should have kept a copy of the form I sent off however I didn’t think to do this and am now freaking out that if they ask me what I wrote exactly I won’t be able to say it exact as I posted it off months ago now!
Thanks for any help

No email copy either would they send me a copy in time if I asked for one now?

Thanks, have sent an email, hoping they can send me a copy of my form to me before next week. If not then I’m not sure what to do!

Hi there
It is advisable to keep a copy but not the end of the world
They will not ask you to repeat what you put on the form
They will ask questions based on your form but all you need to do is answer with as much detail about how your condition affects your ability and how this would impact in a work environment
Dwp don't normally send out a copy of your assessment form or respond to emails
Contact is usually through your online journal if on uc -
Thankyou so much for your reply, I am very anxious about it, as I lose my vision a lot of the time, due to having a cyst on my brain, so even if I had a copy of it to hand I can’t say I would be able to read it anyway!

It's unlikely that the Health Assessment Advisory Service who complete the assessments will send you a copy of the form you sent. Just do your best to answer the questions with as much detail as possible and avoid answering with just a yes or no.
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. -
Okay, I’m so nervous but thanks for your help.

Great news on that decision. However, the advice from your work coach to base your answers on your worst days is extremely bad advice and you should never ever do this. You should tell about all of your days and not just your bad ones.
