Why have I been put down for a home assessment?

Had my letter for assessment and it is at home anyone know why and not at the centre ...went to the center the last time in my wheelchair I'm not bothered but Luke like to no why

Usually a home assessment is given when the AP recognises that you might have difficulty attending a centre or they had a vacant home visit slot and you were top of the pile

In my opinion it's better!
Have a look at the B&W self test for the points system, descriptors and criteria for an award

My home assessment was fine - the assessor was a very nice woman and I was sceptical that she might be one of these horrible assessors who lies.
But by the looks of my award - she did not lie at all. She was honest about everything and I was awarded standard daily living and enhanced mobility until 2021.
Good luck
Yes you can choose to have the assessment in any room you want.

Glad your assessment went well. Give it a few days then ring DWP and ask for a copy of the report PA4
