Medical ssesment and strange questions

piggychops

Hello
I posted sometime ago about invalidity pension and going for a medical assessment. So I went for the assessment on Monday and was asked some ( what I think) strange questions like....... What type of car do you drive?, where does you husband work , what does he do? I heard the company is flying ...... Do you live in a new house? Did was carried out by a doctor. Can they ask these questions. I thought it was a medical assessment not a means test. I answered them but felt very uncomfortable. Do anyone have experience of this ?

Thanks

Victor

This is another way of asking "Can you drive?" and "Is your vehicle accessible for you?"

Do you live in a new house?

Older houses are less accessible than modern houses.

where does you husband work , what does he do? I heard the company is flying

Possibly just chat, possibly time filling, possibly an attitude-type test.

Not really a state benefits question.
