I had no issue with the assessor who was very professional apart from him making assumptions about me based on age and profile and referring to arthritis that will be progressive. I have little confidence that my problem was understood because the assessment was done over the phone therefore my recovery could be delayed by many weeks and the pain I am suffering will continue longer than it needs to or risks becoming chronic
