Hi kylee I had the same thing and I was so stressed out about it but try not to it was very relaxing the dr that came to me was very nice and he just asked what things I could and couldn't do I was honest with him and I was not as bad then as I am now he did a quick examinatin of my hands and feet and saw me walking.
They phoned me a few weeks later saying that they had over ruled my decision ( originally told after 1st application I was entitled to nothing ) that they were giving me high rate mobility and low rate care. So please try not to worry and just be honest and he will do most of the talking. I should say I have psoriatic arthritis in all my joints.

Let me know how you get on :)
