Medical attendance time was created by dkmac1
I attended my medical last week, it lasted over two hours.
on arrival I found no place to park not even to be dropped off near entrance. my wife had to get me into wheelchair and leave me on pavement while she drove away to find parking space then return to push me down to the centre. anyone not in wheelchair would have to walk more than 25 metres to gain access therefore would fail mobility test just by attending, cameras were evident on building watching your arrival.
the medical specialist was very nice but very thorough. who knows what observations she considered without my knowledge.
It had taken 7 weeks from them receiving my form to interview and I was told to expect 4 to 8 weeks before decision letter arrived. this seems a lot longer than many on the forum, are we just taking longer in the North East than other areas.
I expect Enhanced Mobility but whilst I can justify Enhanced Care using the points test, I am not sure the person interviewing me will see it that way.

There are regional variations in the time it takes for a Decision to be made, although 8 weeks seems to be a tad on the long side.
