The 20-30 min assessment to just over an hour and i left content that at least i had seen someone with relevant medical experience who understood the the info i gave him
Sat in one to represent a family member who following a brain haemorrhage has severe speech & language problems plus paralysis down one side and she was seen by a complete numpty . When the results came thru they made no sense and were wrong but as she ,rightly, had bee awarded full rate PIP i didn't bother pointing out the errors
