First thing is take someone with you. You are entitled to have someone with you during the interview. If they are able to, get them to take some notes, about what happens and what is said.
Tell the truth, I am sure you will, but sometimes under pressure, people can be tempted to answer with what they think the questioner wants rather than what they need to say.
Know what you have written on the ESA50 and how those answers relate to the ESA tests.
Think before you answer, even innocent sounding questions can allow the Doctor/nurse (HCP), to make assumptions. For example, "How did you get here today?" answer "I drove", would immediately make the HCP think that you have the use of both hands.
Don't panic
