The assessor will be aware of your journey from your home to their office and depending on how you got their, where you may have walked and how far.

They will already have an understanding of how far all of the key areas in and surrounding the building are, so if there is parking, they will know how far this is from the waiting room and they will accurately know how far the examination room is from reception.

It is unlikely that they will ask you direct questions about your mobility problems, but rather they will seek to get a view by asking questions in connection with your mobility, for example; do you go shopping and where? How do you get there? Is there parking at the shopping area?

If they do ask questions about your walking then it may be in a form that you are not used to, for example; how long can you walk? Most claimants will have no empirical understanding of how long they can walk because they have not tested it and are liable to significantly overstate their ability.
