It's not that your test wasn't performed properly, it just might not have been performed the way SS requires. As one example, it could be something as simple as you had a change of medication within two weeks of spirometry testing, so the test was invalidated. See 3.00 E from link for Listings.
Your case worker would not be asking about upcoming breathing tests if you had enough medical documentation to prove you meet a Listing today. You can ask why you don't already meet a Listing--I'm not sure why they don't volunteer this, but there must be a policy against it. Or, if denied at Reconsideration, you can request a copy of your file to see why they determined that you didn't meet a Listing.

Sigh, I'm not talking about the denial. The denial was in June and its water under the bridge. I spend zero time thinking about the denial because that part of the process is over.
I'm under reconsideration and that's where my focus is.
The reason that my case worker ask me the question remains to be seen. I'm not sure how you can say unequivocally that you know what is happening with my case. My own lawyer is cautious when making assessments about my case and yet you seem to have all of the answers.....
