Hi, Im hoping to get some advise on my last WCA. Ive had four assessments at each one the HPC had my ESA50 infront of them, at my last WCA the HPC didnt have my ESA50 infront of her and was looking at my last review via the computer. It makes me worry that the HCP didnt have my ESA50 at all. My WCA was also ended within 20minutes, the HCP then said she had to make a phone call, then came back in to say she has enough information to write her report and not to worry. Is this sosmething i should be concerned about? P.S I was in WRAG for 2 years before being moved into the SG on the third year. All help is very much appreciated.

Don't waste your time trying to second guess how these [edited] minds work....

Yeah, i guess but it's really hard not to in my current mental state.

It's really hard not to, for anyone, poor mental health or not, they cause it and exacerbate it.

Don't know if this will help but my last WCA assessment lasted all of 20 minutes too. In my case, the HP was well trained in my condition and knew enough to not bother with the rest of my health issues although she used my ESA forms to help her fill in the rest. I was kept in the support group. Just goes to show that not all HPs are out to trip us up.

I had my last one recently. I had my daughter/carer with me. My esa50 and all info hadnt been looked at by the assessor until 5-10 minutes before I went in. it lasted 20 minutes and she then ended it. 3 weeks later the dwp enveloped arrived....I was dreading opening it, but I was placed back in the support group again. I think if they see or find enough to make the decision they don't carry on with it. I do believe having my daughter with me to speak up and make sure the assessor got it, really helped.
