    I think you probably can be politely dismissive if they try to persuade you to think about moving towards work or related activities and certainly if they enquire about health... pointing to the LCWRA and saying you're still unable to start thinking about work. As per badmemory I've a dark sense of humour and I'd struggle to resist using the moment for some fun...the mind wanders... 'I've been thinking about training as a brain surgeon but I'm waiting for the uniform and tools to arrive from Temu so I can start practicing on my in laws'.

    I suspect your appointment will be quite short and easily got through.

    Haha, well thanks for making me laugh anyway Muttley! I just wish I knew someone who had gone through such an interview and what questions they ask. I just can’t get my head around getting an assessment that states I’m unable to work or engage in work related activities and then getting a message saying they are going to discuss what I’ve done to look for work 🤷‍♀️
