Sometimes they still don’t accept drs letter 

dixiegirl

Hi dotty but if your I'll and doctor states your not able to go to assessment how can they not accept this.this would be a failure of doctors and the duty of care to you surely.

True but loads have got drs letter for home visit they go against it not many get home visit exactly it makes your dr look bad

A Drs letter requesting a home visit doesn't always help. If you attend other appointments it's possible that they will tell you that you can attend the assessment centre if you attend other appointments.

Zenkoblue

Yeah that so true just seen doctor and she doing second letter I just got the over letter about no home visit. I am still surprised they re looking in to my case and waiting on second doctor letter which inform them that I live with my mam and she in bad health I myself have mobility problems anxiety and suicide due to esa assessment. Can’t remember the rest guess I got wait get the letter next week and post it.

Hi poppy.yes that is what they say.but how can they decide what's going on in someone's head when they have no idea what mental health difficulties  can do to you.yes some people can manage a Dr appointment with a doctor who they know very well because it's out of necessity for medical treatment.but genuine people with these problems still go through terrible anxiety and distress to do this.and suffer terribly afterwards.it is a whole different thing to go somewhere strange and talk to a stranger.especially under these circumstances which is also very stressful for those people with no mental health problems as you will all know.why have they this right to refuse home assessment after a doctor has medically stated that a person is unfit to manage it this undermines  the doctor who states this.I myself feel on the verge of a nervous breakdown just thinking about this and I'm ill. No-one should be put in a position that they feel this way because they fail to listen to doctors .

Zenkoblue

You took the words out my mouth dixiegirl I just hope my doctor did right this time with letter. I trust my doctor as they know me but esa person so different and more scary to me and the lies they tell.

dixiegirl

I hope your letter will be enough this time.im waiting to get one too.this is awful just awful.

dixiegirl took the words out of my mouth too! I have significant anxiety (agoraphobia, maybe social anxiety and GAD), depression and FM. I find it pretty hard to attend any appointments and ask my Son to cancel and rebook them more often than not. I'm actually still waiting for my home WCA, not in any hurry for it though, not long had my PIP review home assessment Was shaking a lot during that assessment, luckily my son was here to help.

dixiegirl

Hi there wf2k yes I'm the same.can I ask how you got wca for home.visit.

Zenkoblue

Yeah I like know that too wf2k how get home visit just hope my letter right this time. Wow lot people going thought same things as me.

@dixiegirl My Son called the medical centre and asked for a letter, the GP stated that I have significant anxiety, agoraphobia and that I will cancel appointments often and that she thought a home assessment would be best (not in those exact words).

@Zenkoblue I hope you manage to get a home assessment.

Dotty123

Zenkoblue
