UC50 Telephone Assessment

Bprs999

Hi everyone, I have upcoming telephone assessment for WCA however i am clueless  as to what does it involve  and how to prepare for it. Tried looking forum but could not find related info.
Also since she sending the form, my gp has prescribed with other medication along with other which I ma already taking ( suffering chronic piano for more than 10 years body pain, neck back , chest and being diagnosed under process  by a  rheumatologist , gp recon i might have fibromyalgia) .
 I have also just found to have anxiety disorder and have been put on one to one NHS  CBT therapy.  I don't know how could I inform them about my debilitating condition or should I mention them during telephone assessment. I have no idea where to look for help?

Yes fully explain the new conditions at the assessment, concentrate on how it makes doing the UC50 activities difficult.

ESA50 is the same as UC50.

Suggest that you write all of the information down, so you don't forget anything.  Provide the additional medication information at the telephone assessment.  The more information you provide the better,

They assessor is going to ask you a series of questions about your health and how this impacts on your ability to perform everyday tasks.  It is important that you describe your average daily experiences with your health.

Thanks very much! I am more stressed out of telephone assessment as I struggle with understanding and explaining due to anxiety. I am looking for any place of  guidance regarding the process.
