- Have a look at the DLA claim guides in the Members area, they also include a list of questions you are likely to be asked.
- Have someone with you at the medical, if they can, get them to take notes, but even if they can't, having someone with you will help.
- Take your time to answer, think about what you are going to say, don't allow yourself to be rushed.
- Remember, if they ask you to do something that hurts, tell the "doctor" and don't be pushed into doing it.
- Don't stress. Easier said than done

When I had doctor come out at my home he was very abrupt too and I thought I was going to have a fight on my hands - however, I was awarded HRM, MRC (has since been increased on renewal.)
It goes to show that even if a doctor is abrupt don't give up hope and try not to be put off. Congratulations.
