hi i have just received a letter to say that I have a Face to face interview for PIP and its at my home. Im wondering why? I applied in November 2017 but was turned down and I never challenged it i wasn't aware that I could. My condition is a rare brain injury condition call chari malfunction type 1 and Im now off sick due depression and anxiety. so I have reapplied on the advice of citizens advice.

Hi @SkyMary7, all the best for your new PIP application. From what others have said on the community, it seems as though sometimes applicants who may benefit from them are given home assessments to avoid having to travel to their face to face appointment.
