Thank you for your reply. I ended up with an urgent appointment with my GP on the friday I was so ill. I have looked on Capita's website and in their assessment process it states 'You will not be asked to do anything that will cause you discomfort. This is in not what happened for me and was asked to do things that would not just cause me discomfort but pain and possible faint. It makes me despair that disabled people are treated so badly. I am seeing my local MP on 14th March without even knowing what decision is made, such was my concern. Again thank you for always being a comfort to a desperately worried lady and all the other people you help.

The assessor should have made you aware that you had the right to refuse any examination that would cause you pain or distress, if they did not do this then it would be something to add to your complaint.

Thanks I did not know and despite me explaining why I couldn't do something, and what would happen if I did I was asked to do it anyway. What a flipping disaster. I am still poorly and despite a same day app with my gp on friday she is concerned enough to see me again tomorrow. Thankyou
