Can i change early time slot?

Hi all, I have just recirece my next review of my ESA , I am currently in the support group and have been for the past well coming up to 4 years
I am deeply concerned that they are just wanting to take my benefits away from me
My condition is severe, I have 2 life ending diseases and if I'd a huge struggle to get ready in the mornings
It takes me approximate 3 hours to get ready I .The morning but with this review they have placed me at 9.30am now I have contacted them and edplainex my situation but they have simply said that they will not change my time slot and if I do not attending even if I am late my benefits will stop
Can anyone on here help????

Thanks for sharing this with us, and I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. I'm unsure of the answer to this myself, but hopefully some of our members will be able to advise.
Tried to explain that my carer won't be present during that period in the morning as he has in interview to attend between 8-10 which means there's no one to help me get ready, so I said would you mind switching the time till past 11 maybe 12 as with a carer it takes me about an hour to get ready but takes me at least 3 without
So I'm sort of screwed tbh
