I can only echo what the others have said, but AzDi I think you can allow yourself to be hopping mad at such an idiot - sadly these assessors seem to come from a camp of out of work or out of touch practitioners, we have the same kind of assessments here in the uk, and people say very similar things to you. The system - as always - sucks. Just hang on to what you know is right, don't let his asinine remarks get into your head, and keep pushing for your claim. In the uk, over half of claimants rejected by the assessors have their claims upheld by the appeals process. Sometimes I think they just want to see how many folk they can put off by being so vile....

Hope you have a better day!
