Hi I'm Teresa I have a telephone interview for ESA, always been face to face .

Hi @teresa87, I know a change can be quite anxiety-inducing when you're used to something else. I'm afraid I have no personal experience with ESA telephone interviews. What I can do is pop this discussion into the ESA category of our community where people with the experience will be more likely to find it!

Citizen's Advice and Scope both have advice pages on ESA. Is this just a review since you mention you've had assessments/reviews before?

Just incase here's the Scope and Citizen's Advice pages

If you prefer face to face then you can contact the Health assessment Advisory Service to change it. 

Telephone assessments have been in place since the pandemic and I believe they are remaining in place. Some are also video or face to face.
