I had a work capability assessment with DWP today. There is 3 main conditions I suffer from - joint condition, mental health condition and stomach condition.
At first the man said we were going to discuss each other but when we got to the end of the first one, he said the assessment was complete. When I questioned him about the other conditions he said he had enough information and that the DWP should be able to see how debilitating one condition is so shouldn’t need to know about the others.
I’m now worried that because he didn’t ask about my other conditions about getting out and about etc, that it is going to affect the outcome?
We spoke about how I manage the housework (family do it), how I cook (ready meals), how I care for my child (had to move near family for daily support and a dog walker and daycare for the dog) and how I get out and about (rarely leave the house and if I do it’s always with someone and a blue badge).
Has anyone got any experience with this and if the outcome is a negative one should I pursue another assessment for my other 2 conditions that they didn’t include?
