    I am sure you can appreciate this has all been very
    confusing as we have never had to deal with this
    before.

    We did receive a phone call with something to do with
    credits, so would this assessment merely be to confirm
    she is disabled?

    If it is the ESA assessment, it does not look at whether the claimant is disabled, but rather if she is "fit for work". To establish this they consider certain descriptors - if you Google "ESA descriptors" you'll find a list of them.
