Hi @Diligent500
You can send in any other supporting evidence, even after you have sent in your forms.
I would contact ESA to let them know of any changes.
Also if you do send in other information, please make sure it's by recorded delivery only. Make sure you put your name and NHS number on any correspondence.
So they can't say they didn't receive the information.
I'm not sure wether you can have an assessent done at home? So hopefully someone can advice?
I'm prouvondly deaf, with neurological problems so i can't walk very well without my wheelchair. And they wouldn't make any allowances for me.
Good luck
Hope all goes well. -
Normally for a home assessment you will need a very specific letter from your GP stating that you cannot attend a center and the reason why
CR
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
Ok thanks for the answers.

Or if the centre is not on the ground floor, if you suffer with mobility issues and can't use stairs fire safety regs kick in, obligating them to offer a WCA in a different venue on the ground floor, unless they have now trained their staff to use the evacuation chairs
Another somewhat less known rule is that if the total journey time from your home to the assessment venue would take more than 90mins on either outward or return leg of that journey they have to offer you a taxi as there is a 90mins max journey time using public transport , this includes waiting times for connecting buses or trains and walking time in between travelling times as well as taking into account the time of day the appointment is scheduled for, such as peak times
and it's 1hr if travelling by private car , they will if you push them offer a taxi paid on their account as taxi fares can be expensive
