Can anyone advise me regarding the following as worrying and confused. I have just had my heath assessment over the phone. Dwp health assessment - universal credit
I have severe artheritis in my feet/lower back/ hips and hands/fingers. Over the last few days I have had mri results and report regarding feet and also info about the worsening of my hip . And updates on my hands . I had these ready to relay . But the assessment lasted ten minutes. She asked only about what time I went to bed, what it was like getting up, bathing, making food, going upstairs and what I did as hobby. I told her at the beginning I had letters which were full updates on my hip and feets and procedures I'm awaiting but she only asked about my hips and didn't want any more info. I don't know why as all the other things were relevant to assessment. I don't waffle I'm precise. Just feel it was rushed.

It's perfectly normal for them to only concentrate on one one thing during the assessment. They may have had enough of information about everything else.The assessment process is there for them to gather extra evidence to support your claim. It's not there for them to go through every single thing, this is what the form is for that you filled in and returned.Seems like she was asking what a typical day is like for you, which again is perfectly normal. Your assessment was short but again, it does happen. I've had work capability assessments that were just 10 minutes long and never had any issues.As this is a work capability assessment and you're claiming UC, if you have access to a journal then once a decision is made the letter will be uploaded onto the journal.Maybe a member of the scope team can move this to the UC section please to save confusion @Hannah_Scope @Cher_Scope @Adrian_Scope0

Thanks for the tag @poppy123456 I've moved it to the UC section.
I hope Poppy's reply has helped to reassure you @LDJBluebell. Fingers crossed you aren't waiting too long for a decision either.0
