Was it actually a doctor? who carried out the assessment Tony?

They seem to only be given minor detail and questions to ask.

In my case the questions they had written down to ask did not apply to my present situation!!! and they stopped interview and sent me home in a taxi!

If they do not cover every situation with you, you must say and tell them everything. the less they ask could be a problem if they do not cover all the health issues you may have? as they said in my letter before interview you have to take and show equipment you use?

The odds are that they have never heard of Vasculitis... it is rare a doctor carries out an assessment... doctors usually carry out appeals.. please let us know the outcome Tony
