I had my assessment over the phone before Christmas. It was a very quick call- barely any questions asked.
I was asked details about condition.
Medication and any treatment.
-Then I was asked to explain how my mornings go from getting out of bed.
-How long it takes me and how long it takes me to get downstairs.
-how do I manage to wash and dress
-the last time I went out the home, how long for, how I got there and how I felt afterwards.

-and who does the shopping

Yes, perfectly normal to be asked what a typical day is like for you.1

Ah okay- I wondered as I did read about the questions/ points they would ask. She didn’t ask how far I could walk or whether I could do other things…poppy123456 said:Yes, perfectly normal to be asked what a typical day is like for you.0 -
I’ve never been asked how far I can walk either and I’ve had many work capability assessments in the past 10 years.Where exactly did you read about the questions and points they ask? I’ve never read anything like that before.0

That’s nothing to do with the questions they ask or any points. Thats the descriptors that are used to determine whether you qualify for LCWRA.1
