my pip interview is next week 49 miles from home and I’ve phoned lots of times to try to get something nearer but they won’t help. I suffer severe anxiety and mental health issues and I’ve looked through the questions and can’t see how any are relevant to my illness. I have been on DLA fir many years and had plenty of help from my doctor but I’m so nervous about this appointment

Hello Belvoir333
My name is Debbie. Welcome to the forum. Is it possible that you could get your Doctor to write you a letter explaining about your condition and to request a home visit assessment? -
Hi Belvoir333 type in the link below and put in your post code, i just did this and it came up showing there's one in my home town, check out yours, if you see anything closer then ask them why you cant be seen there. Plus ask your dr for a letter as well for back up.
