Sorry, I forgot to add on my other post - when you have a home assessment the assessor is hopefully obviously aware there’s a good reason for that (!) but what are you legally allowed to refuse to do and will it go against you? For example, I am mostly bedbound and the stress of this assessment approaching has been bad enough, but if they insist I be out of bed and doing any exercises it will not only be difficult and painful, but the nature of one of my illnesses means I will no doubt have terrible payback from it for the rest of the week. Do I have to physically be out of bed etc just to satisfy them?

Thank you for your help.
You can refuse any activity that would cause you unreasonable mental or physical distress, just make sure that you explain why you are doing so.
