    Basing this on my assessment - which was at home.
    The doctor seemed to have read my claim form, so asked questions about things related to my answers, and was interested about how I managed in general.

    It's basically just to get more insight into your condition, to allow them to make better decisions.
    There was no 'medical' as such.
