Hi all this is my first post on your forum.
Had the dreaded form for f2f assessment 2 weeks ago appointment was yesterday, I was contacted last week by Capita to ask if I would be happy for assessment to be filmed as they are trialing filming
they said I would have a copy but there copy would be destroyed anytime I said in the future, when I arrived filming wasn't mentioned at all although I did agree! I did call to ask if my assessment could be changed to Coventry but was told they have to offer first appointment within 90 min travel time wouldn't bend on that at all but I did get late app with a lady as I requested.
This is info about centre but can't find that area maybe somebody who i isn't a tech dinosaur could move it or tag it. Capita centre Gateway House High Street Birmingham is in the city centre past bullring
The nearest car park is NCP High St 0.1 mile
There are 3! disabled parking outside the doors but in the Rd behind the centre there are some more then it's a 5/6 min walk to centre I walk slowly.
We drove over day before and did a sightseeing tour trying to assess parking and location highly recommended if driving.
It was a very busy area and not the nicest area but there is a macdonalds a few doors down for coffee and calm down time. Once inside there's 2 lifts 1 was broken 2nd floor reception was bright comfortable and very warm. Lady on desk was lovely as was assessor I saw, she didn't take notes did everything on PC didn't push me to do anything.
She did eye test asked me to move arms as high as poss and bend while sitting,stand and stand on tip toes.
Assessment was approx a hour. I was a nervous wreck and felt ill all day but it was OK. Now the waiting game I'm lifetime Dla to PIP so worried about desision but the advise on hear has been amazing thank you.
