    Hi,

    No one can tell you what questions they will ask because they will depend on how your conditions affect you. There's no trick questions, just questions to gather as much information as possible.

    If you kept a copy of the form that you sent then have a read of that to remind yourself of what you told them, part of the assessment is for you to verify what you wrote in the form as well as any other additional information they need.

    If you don't understand or didn't hear what they said then ask them to repeat it.

    Good luck.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
