Doctor needed for WCA

A friend has gone for a first WCA on his ESA claim. The person seeing him had a very comprehensive overview of his medical history including stuff not mentioned by the claimant on the ESA50. After a couple of questions it was decided to adjourn the assessment until a doctor was available i.e another day. Is this routine?

Not routine, but good practice if the clinician identifies that they do not have the requisite understanding of the claimant's condition. I've seen it the other way also, where a GP has requested a physiotherapist complete the assessment.0
