Read the Glossary of LIMA examination findings on the Incapacity resources page.

Although I wouldn't say don't make eye contact with the doctor, it is important to be aware of the assumptions that ATOS make, based on your behaviour.

Just to echo the comments that have been made.

At my medical, the nurse did not investigate any of the mental health tests, because, as she noted, I had good eye contact.

This to me is a really interesting one that obviously a few of us have encountered!

I put my good eye contact down to anxiety and the fact that despite my mental health problems, the manners enforced on me as a child still prevail! (well, most of the time)!
