Big building in big city.
Three security guards in reception. Receptionist sat behind a glass enclosure.
Had to show id, given a pass to wear.
Escorted to lift by 2 security guards. Taken up in lift by a different to guards.
Handed over to 2 more security guards.
Shown in to a very large room with staff behind glass and security guards strategically placed around the room. Had to show pass and id again
Escorted to toilet by security guard, and back again.
Guards in every corridor.
All in reverse to get out.

It's the body that assesses disabled and sick people to make sure they are really entitled to the benefits they get.
Very intimidating place

Ah I see hc, my BIL is an amputee and had to go to one of those places to see if he could manage to walk or stand with one leg!!!. Can't for the life of me see why the security is so tight in places like that.

I was shocked. Apparently the staff gets lots of threats and abuse but it did seem over the top.

Good grief, I hope I never have to go there
