Assessment A!

emma90

Hi everyone

I went through right to choose with my GP back in November and have been waiting for the next steps since then. Today I got a call telling me my part A assessment would be tomorrow! They've given me no details about it except to tell me to have photo ID available and it'll be a 150 minute appointment via video call... I don't think I've ever had a conversation with a person for that long. Is there a general structure these assessments follow? My mind is racing at the moment... I'm worried I'll have a breakdown during it or use all my energy accidentally masking and pretending I'm okay because that's what I've done all my life. 

Are these people generally friendly or is it formal? Any advice/feedback from own experiences/ any anything would be really appreciated right now! Thank you.

  • Hi Emma90, I didn’t want to read and run, I don’t really have anything useful to say because I haven’t had my assessment yet, been waiting since August. But on the website of the provider I went with through RTC there was a little video explaining it would be informal, more of a chat, yes it could be long but they would be aware it would be difficult for someone. It also said there would be some activities. I wish you lots of luck with getting through it … it will be okay.

    Thanks for your reply - unfortunately the provider I've chosen doesn't offer much insight... they texted me a support guide that leads to an error message!

    I keep telling myself it will be okay and by 3pm it'll be over and I can relax, but that little devil is on my shoulder as well thinking up all the things that could go wrong too ha.

    I hope you hear from your provider soon Heart️
