Prepare for a disability or illness benefit assessment (a functional or work capability assessment, a medical review, a disability evaluation interview): describe how the condition affects daily life on a bad day, gather evidence, and know what to bring and say. Use when someone says 'I have a benefit assessment next week', 'how do I prepare for my disability assessment', 'they say I can do more than I can', or 'what should I say at my medical review'. Produces a day-in-my-life description, an evidence list, answers to common questions, and a plan for the day and afterwards.
“I have my disability benefit assessment next Thursday, how do I prepare?”“They want a phone assessment for my illness benefit, what will they ask?”“Last time the assessor said I could walk fine because I walked into the room”“What evidence should I bring to my work capability assessment?”
What to give it
▸The country and the benefit or assessment, if — known
▸The conditions, physical and mental, and how they — vary
▸Daily activities that are hard — washing, dressing, cooking, moving around, concentrating, being with people, travelling
▸The evidence they already have
▸The date and format — in person, by phone, by video
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Every activity covers reliability, repetition, safety and time, not just "can or cannot"
✓Bad days and how often they happen are described, not only typical days
✓Each piece of evidence is linked to the activities it supports
✓The output never suggests exaggerating; it asks for honest, specific detail
✓Free advice services and the deadline to challenge a decision are named
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Coaching someone to exaggerate or misstate their condition
Describing only the best day, or saying "I manage" without what it costs
Inventing assessment criteria, scores or deadlines for a specific scheme instead of telling the person to confirm them
Treating mental health and fluctuating conditions as less relevant than physical ones
