not sure how assessments are done in england but as for when they gave me mine, it was a relatively lengthy interview of questions and the t does their best to make you feel comfortable with opening up to talking about what's going on. best thing to do is just be yourself and if anything comes up that's hard to talk about just let them know it's some tough issues or try to answer as best you can. things will be okay, don't fear, they're out to help you. good luck with everything, keep me posted
