Your personal life and the sorts of activities you like to do
How your condition has impacted on these areas of your life

All of these questions are designed to understand your situation and how your condition is affecting your life.

Will I receive a copy of the medical report?

The consulting doctor cannot give you advice about your condition or your treatment options. He/she is simply there to assess your overall condition and provide an assessment to the organisation that arranged the referral. This organisation may be an insurance company or legal firm.
