Will the DWP will take all my info about my pip assessment into account at my ESA assessment?

Thanks for letting me join...I went through the transition, DLA-PIP this year, I think that my award was fair even though I lost the mobility component. I was on Incapacity benefit from 2001 until it was ESA , support group, I've just today received my ESA work capability assessment questionnaire, I've filled it in, it's no where near as detailed as the PIP form, but I've filled it in pretty much how I did my pip ,,, now my PIP face 2 face was stopped at the assesment centre as I was traumatised ( I have mental illness) after 5 mins in , I then waited 4 weeks and was informed they had arranged a home visit . I've put all this down on my ESA work capability assessment questionnaire and just wondered if you may know if the DWP will take all my info about my pip assessment into account and 'A' - give me a home visit if face to face is required or B - just check all my info and then reassess again in X yrs ??? Any advice would be great , I've really had as much as Any one can take in 6 months between the pip and now this esa assesment questionnaire, it's gonna be on my mind 24/7 again.....

Sorry to hear that you're going through a stressful time. As PIP and ESA are two completely different benefits they do not communicate with one another and pass on information.
Have you asked your GP to write a letter stating you require a home visit due to going into an assessment centre causes you to become distressed. Send this letter to DWP ASAP. Hope this helps.
