Would it really go against me if I managed to get there alone? I am wondering if I might be able to get my head in the right frame of mind to get there by cab. They would at least be able to see how going out alone affects me
I have had this appointment hanging over me for a few weeks now. I just want it out of the way.

It depends on your conditions, if you have agoraphobia or social anxiety or something similar then your going alone may count against you, you will need to explain how you have managed the trip on that specific occasion.

My 12th Aug assessment was cancelled. I went to a new appointment on Wed (7th) How long must I wait until I can ask for the assessors report?
Apart from osteoarthritis in my knees, my main problem is my mental health. The assessor had me standing there copying her movements. Hands up, hands above my head, hands in a clapping position etc. Probably to see how I could understand commands? Not feeling good about this at all.

Thanks for any advise.

You should be able to request the report next week.

I haven't had my decision letter yet. But I have received the assessors report. It says

I advise that work could be considered in 18 months.
The available evidence suggests review in the medium term.

Any ideas please? Ohh my hands are shaking :0(

It suggests an award is being recommended but you will have to wait for the Decision Letter to see whether this is the case.
