My mum originally got a f2f appointment I rang atos explained she's no good with strangers and they approved a home visit straight away but they did look at the evidence first whilst I was on the phone . Keep on asking !

normally you will need a specific letter from your GP detailing why you cannot attend an assessment centre. Some people are granted HA on their evidence but is the exception rather than the norm
